not able to get php7 after add ppa:ondrej/php [closed]

I added the repository by this command:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

WARNING: add-apt-repository is broken with non-UTF-8 locales, see for workaround:

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

OK

all seems good. then I run apt-cache

apt-cache search php7

which gives nothing.

this is my system information:

~# uname -a

I also try

LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

the same result. any suggestion and hints is very appreciated.

It seems ppa:ondrej/php is not support the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS according to which indicates the standard support is ended April 2019.

After I upgrade my ubuntu to 16.04 LTS, I can install the php 7.3 from the repository.

Once you've added a PPA you need to update APT cache before runing apt-cache or apt install.

sudo apt update
