You can get simple and understandable steps to install PHP on CentOS. Before we move into the installation, let’s have a brief look on PHP.

What is this PHP? Let me tell you. PHP means Hypertext Processor, which is a programming language for web development. You can create dynamic web page contents or images as you wish.

CentOS is a Community Enterprise Operating System. It is an open-source platform for non-productive developmental work. For production concern, those works can be migrated to RHEL (Payable) Linux distribution platform.

For now, we can focus on PHP 5.6, which will be the basic version widely used. Later will explain to you how to install any version of PHP on CentOS.
