    Simply install the php alternative package (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/php)

    sudo apt install php

    And you will get new symbolic links

    ~$ ll /usr/bin/php7.2 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.7M Apr 18 16:12 /usr/bin/php7.2*

~$ ll /usr/bin/php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar  7 17:05 /usr/bin/php -> /etc/alternatives/php*

~$ ll /etc/alternatives/php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar  7 17:05 /etc/alternatives/php -> /usr/bin/php7.2*

~$ php -v
