2016/07/28
 
The version of PHP in CentOS 6 repository is 5.3 but Install 7.1 with RPM package if you need.
[1] It's possible to install from Remi's Repository.
It's OK to install it even if 5.3 is already installed because 7.1 is located on another PATH.
[root@dlp ~]#
yum --enablerepo=remi-safe -y install php71
[2] PHP 7.1 is installed under the /opt directory and the link "/usr/bin/php71" is created.
