Install PHP7 environment via Yum under Centos 6/7

This article transferred from: Yunxi Community

The PHP7 version was released in early December 2015 and ushered in the largest release since 2004. The most significant change in PHP7 is the dramatic improvement in performance, which is close to the PHP execution engine HHVM developed by Facebook. In the WordPress benchmark performance test, the speed is more than 5.6 times faster than the version, greatly reducing the memory footprint. PHP7 also has some changes in language, such as adding a return type declaration, adding some new reserved keywords, and so on. In terms of security, remove the PHP security mode, add magic quotes, and so on. Not only that, the new version also supports 64-bit, and includes the latest version of the Zend engine.
