Raspbian PHP 7

1. Add stretch to apt sources:

   • sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
   • deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
     • I personally prefer the leaseweb mirror as of late as it seems faster and more reliable.
       • http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/raspbian/raspbian
         1. Set apt preferences to prefer stable over stretch

   • sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences

     Package: *
     Pin: release n=jessie
     Pin-Priority: 600

1. Update...
   • sudo apt-get update
2. Install PHP 7 specifying that it comes from stretch
   • sudo apt-get install -t stretch php7.0
   • optional: other useful packages: php7.0-mbstring php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl
3. Confirm PHP version
   • php -v

• reference
