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:
"## software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team."
So there isn't any updates to PHP in the backports, because PHP isn't a
part of the main Ubuntu packages.
You can try installing php7.1 from the PPA on this site:
https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php?field.series_filter=xenial
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.
