PHP is an open-source programming language that is embedded in HTML. It is mainly used for creating dynamic web sites such as blogs, e-commerce sites, etc. Rasmus Lerdorf created it in 1994.

CentOS 8 /  RHEL 8 comes with PHP v7.2 by default.

In this post, we will see how to install PHP 8.0 on  CentOS 8 /  RHEL 8.
