Answer 1

you need to manually add the ondrej PPA to be able to install PHP7.2 on Ubuntu 17

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.2

Or by compiling it from source by cloning the git repository, checking out to the version that you want, make & make install
