If you have this problem while upgrading from PHP5 to PHP7 on Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache, here's what helped me (credit goes here):

Disable PHP5 module on Apache:

sudo a2dismod php5

Now enable PHP7:

sudo a2enmod php7.1

To reflect changes Apache restart is required:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

or if you are on php 7.0 you do `sudo a2enmod php7.0` – kghbln Feb 06 '18 at 10:01

You deleted this module causing the wrong view of the version number and solved the problem with that, then? If so, please you should mark your answer as solved, no? – Pille Nov 10 '17 at 13:47
