I tried to update the php using their tutorial link, but got the following error:

429 too many requests

Well. I have to update the system using the ssh.

      1.  Login your root account using ssh or other tools.
      2. Update the php sources;
        rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/epel-release.rpm
        rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
      3. Delete the old php files:
        yum remove php-common -y
      4. Install the new php version:
        yum install -y php72w php72w-opcache php72w-xml php72w-mcrypt php72w-gd php72w-devel php72w-mysql php72w-intl php72w-mbstring
      5. Check your systerm version:
        php -v
      6. Reboot your system
        reboot

    That’s it.
