You need to get off CentOS 6. It is dead and has been dead for more than 2 years. It has received no security updates in that time and is increasingly dangerous to run. You will not find newer php packages for CentOS 6 as it is dead and no-one supports it.

Get off it onto something newer ASAP. CentOS 7 is also approaching its death-date and so you should not pick that. There are no newer CentOS versions that are stable so look at using Alma or Rocky Linux 8/9 or OEL (Oracle).

Post moved from the CentOS 7 forum to Social which is where we discuss dead versions.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
