upgrade PHP 5.4 to PHP 5.6 on CentOS 7

Step 1: Change into `root` user

Step 2: Install Remi repo using

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Step 3: Before installing Apache Web Server and PHP 5.6.6, we have to erase previous version as,
yum remove php-common

Step 4: Install Apache Web Server and PHP 5.6.6

yum –enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 install httpd php php-common

Step 5: Install PHP Module using

yum –enablerepo=remi,remi-php56 install php-pecl-apcu php-cli php-pear php-pdo php-mysqlnd php-pgsql php-pecl-mongo php-sqlite php-pecl-memcache php-pecl-memcached php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml

Step 6: Creating test PHP page to check on /var/www/html/test.php with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Finally, we will get the result.
