Sorry to be the one to let you down again, but PHP comes out of the
universe repository and to quote the note in the sources.list file:<br>
"## software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the
Ubuntu<br>
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT
receive any<br>
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team."<br>
<br>
So there isn't any updates to PHP in the backports, because PHP
isn't a part of the main Ubuntu packages. <br>
<br>
You can try installing php7.1 from the PPA on this site:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=xenial">https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=xenial</a><br>
<br>
I've used it in the past to downgrade an 16.04 box to php 5.6 long
enough to get off the versions of the software that were keeping me
on that older version.<br>

<p>I got to thinking... why would Ubuntu 16.04lts be
supported into 2021 and have PHP 7.0 a part of the mix? There is
no option to update to PHP 7.1.x. </p>
<p>Then I stated to think maybe they backport. Sure enough they
do : <a

<p>That is a problem - PHP 7.0.</p>
<p>I started by installing Ubuntu 18.04lts and then found out
that Magento 2 is not compatible with PHP 7.2. </p>
<p>With Magento 2 not being compatible with PHP 7.2... I tried
installing PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 18.04lts, however there is issues
with unmet dependencies.</p>
<p>I'm a software developer not a system admin. I can do some
stuff... I like to install what comes with the distro. I like
Ubuntu... however this is not as clean as I'd like it to be.</p>
<p>Here is the message I get when trying to install PHP 7.1 on
Ubuntu 18.04lts</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br>
php7.1-mcrypt : Depends: libmcrypt4 but it is not installable<br>
php7.1-zip : Depends: libzip4 (>= 1.0) but it is not
installable<br>
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.</p>
<p>---</p>
<p>This is "test" or learning server.... for me exclusively.
I'd like to be able to use it for at least a year before re
configuring.... </p>
<p>I need to load Magento 2, WordPress, and possible Drupal 8
onto this server</p>
<p>Any thoughts are much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thank you very much. After installing Ubuntu 18.04lts I
found Magento 2 is not compatible with PHP 7.2.</p>
<p>I installed Ubuntu 16.04lts which is compatible. </p>
<p>Thank you for your help!!</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Setting up a test server for Magento 2. Requires
bcmath. I can find no such package.</p>
<p>I am on Ubuntu 18.04lts that has PHP
7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 installed.</p>
<p>Tried using apt-cache pkgnames Bcmath
and apt-cache pkgnames php7.2-bcmath , both return
to the prompt w/o any feedback. </p>
<p>Been searching the web to no avail.....</p>
<p>Any suggestions appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
