I'm upgrading the php version to 7.0 in my docker image which is based on Ubuntu 14.04. I read some articles giving the commands to uninstall php5 while installing php7.0. Is this really necessary? What are the pros and cons?

You can have both installed, just make sure that your files point to the right version, or that the correct version is in your PATH.aynber– aynber2016-11-15 14:14:33 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 14:14

@jay I'm a developer not a devops. That's why I tend to use stackoverflow. However, if the question does not fit stackoverflow requirements I can delete it.unadivadantan– unadivadantan2016-11-15 16:16:27 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 16:16

@JonStirling when I don't need to make a specific image I use the images available on dockerhub. However, sometimes, I need to install different softwares, activate modules and so on. In these situations, it's necessary to write your own image.unadivadantan– unadivadantan2016-11-15 16:19:01 +00:00Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 16:19

add the new repository for PHP 7:
apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
remove PHP 5 from your system and install PHP 7
apt-get update && apt-get purge php5-fpm && apt-get --purge autoremove && apt-get install php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-opcache php7.0-xml
