  • I've also tried and that didnt work either. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo aptitude safe-upgrade – Sohaib Khan Jun 27 '16 at 23:56
  • Why are you trying to do this? – Colt Jun 28 '16 at 00:30

    What do you think is missing? You do understand that while Ubuntu (Canonical) will NOT change the major version (i.e. 7.04), Cononical WILL backport updates for the life of the supported version AFTER very substantial testing, etc? In other words, you don't necessarily need to be on the "latest" version to have what you require. [Last update](http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/php7.0/php7.0_7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1/changelog) was May 19, 2016. So, again, question is what do you think you are getting in standard 7.06 that is not in the Canonical updated Xenial 7.04 version? – Colt Jun 28 '16 at 00:44
  • And, if you were going to do this, you might consider the 7.0.7-4ubuntu2 yakkety-release on 2016-06-10, which at least has _some_ Canonical support, rather than looking to an _unknown_ ppa. – Colt Jun 28 '16 at 00:53
  • Reason I ned to upgrade so I can run Magento 2.1.0 and requirements are either 5.x which I dont want to use as later on the releases they will surely require 7.x0 php e.t.c.. – Sohaib Khan Jun 28 '16 at 02:30
  • @Colt could you please let me know how I can add that release sudo add-apt-repository ppa:?? – Sohaib Khan Jun 28 '16 at 10:00
  • you have to use apt-get "pinning" – Colt Jun 28 '16 at 12:26
  • Here is the Ubuntu [PinningHowto wiki page](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto), including good info on possible problems and what to be careful of – Colt Jun 28 '16 at 12:36

I was able to install php 7.08 

sudo apt-get install -y language-pack-en-base
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
apt-get update
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

Adding the following sources

deb ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu xenial main 
deb-src ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu xenial main

It installed PHP 7.08 with no errors.
