@Gulab,

Then you need to upgrade your Ubuntu.

I think the environment does not support php7.2 in ubuntu 14.04

not working

@Gulab,

Here are the commands to install PHP 7.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-fpm php7.2-gd php7.2-json php7.2-mysql php7.2-readline
$ sudo php -v

if you want PHP 7.3 or 7.4, just replace the php7.2 with php7.3 or php7.4.

I want php7.2
