Replacement of default PHP by version 7.1 installation (simplest):

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php71
yum update php\*

emblem-important-2-24.pngThe update may fail if some installed extensions are not yet available for PHP 7, thus avoid breaking your configuration without information, thanks to ABI compatibility protection (php(zend-abi)). After checking, you may have to remove these extensions before running the update. All the extensions compatible with PHP 7 are also available for PHP 7.1 (excepted phalcon).

Parallel installation of version 7.1 as Software Collection (x86_64 only, recommended for tests):

yum install php71
