Answer 1

Try this:

sudo yum -y update

sudo yum install –y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

sudo wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo wget https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm

sudo rpm -Uvh ius-release*.rpm

sudo yum -y update

When you install the package you'll need to add a u to the end of php56. Here is an example of some packages you could install.

sudo yum -y install php56u php56u-opcache php56u-xml \
  php56u-mcrypt php56u-gd php56u-devel php56u-mysql \
  php56u-intl php56u-mbstring php56u-bcmath php56u-soap
