    sudo wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
    sudo wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
    rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

    You’ll need to install yum-utils, disable all old php versions, and enable the remi-php74

    sudo yum install -y yum-utils
    sudo yum-config-manager --disable remi-php56
    sudo yum-config-manager --disable remi-php71
    sudo yum-config-manager --disable remi-php72
    sudo yum-config-manager --disable remi-php73
    sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74

    If you run into issues you may want to see if you have the webtatic repo installed. I had to disable it to get php to update.

    vi /etc/yum.repos.d/webtatic
    [webtatic]
    name=Webtatic Repository EL7 - $basearch
    baseurl=https://repo.webtatic.com/yum/el7/$basearch/
    mirrorlist=https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/$basearch/mirrorlist
    failovermethod=priority
    enabled=0   <- Disabled by changing to a 0
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-webtatic-el7

    And running the yum update should update it to php 7.4

    sudo yum update
