After a lot of problems I tried building my own LAMP server, I have NGINX on it, PHP 5.4, MySQL (as I could not get mariadb to work no matter the guide) and it's running Raspbian Wheezy.

Anyway, I followed the instructions here: How can I install PHP 5.6 (instead of 5.4)? but replaced everything with the latest 7 stable version. After the xm12lib error was corrected I had no other issues. It said it installed successfully, but on my phpinfo page I'm still seeing the original 5.4 release. Any idea how to correct?

    This may help http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/40591/php-version-on-raspberry-pi-different-in-phpinfo/40593#40593. I am betting that you installed CLI PHP which you can confirm by running php -v from the command prompt. But you have not installed the PHP 7 module for apache. – Steve Robillard Feb 10 '16 at 17:11

Compiling binaries is a hassle. I prefer apt and reserve compilation as a last resort.

Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://repozytorium.mati75.eu/raspbian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

Then update using 

apt-get update

Then install php7 using

apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-opcache

Additional info: Take note that adding repositories aside from official ones may present some security risk. But, I hand picked that one so it should be safe.
