Have created a new VM server for a project, it is running Centos 7.5. After following a large number of different articles online to try and get nginx and PHP 7.2 running on this box I cannot get the correct version of PHP or the PHP-FPM module to install.
I ran the following command:
yum install php php-common php-opcache php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-fpm
The result was as below

Update
The most recent article I tried to follow was: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/install-nginx-php-fpm-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
Executing the install command there:
yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-php72 install nginx php-fpm php-common
Result (truncated to show PHP versions):
php-common x86_64 5.4.16-45.el7 centos 565 k
php-fpm x86_64 5.4.16-45.el7 centos 1.4 M

Best Answer
Here is your problem:
You or someone else has explicitly excluded packages from being installed on your system by setting priorities in
/etc/yum.confor in individual repo files in/etc/yum.repos.ddirectory.Check all of these files for lines that read
priority=###where###is a number, and delete any that you find. Then try installing packages again.To ensure this doesn't happen again, you should also remove the offending yum plugin with something like
yum remove yum-plugin-priorities.
