  1. This is what I think you should do:

    1- Remove your php packages and install php7.2. You can proceed as follows:

    sudo apt-get purge php5.*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-cli php7.2-fpm

    2- Optionally, you can also do: (Just after sudo apt-get purge php5.*), to be sure you install php7 freshly.

    sudo apt-get purge php7.*

    3- You can then check the version of your php to be sure. It is done just as you did:

    php -v

    4- Remember to leave feedback or accept the answer if it has been of help!
