You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

What I've tried that haven't worked: I've tried running rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest , I've tried running --skip-broken after the yum install, I have re-installed php, I have cleaned yum.

Here is what my php -v looks like

[centos@localhost etc]$ php -v
PHP 7.3.4 (cli) (built: Apr  2 2019 13:48:50) ( NTS )

php centos-7 yum composer

Answer 1

You have multiple providers for PHP. which create conflicts, you should only use one.

• disable webtatic
• keep only one of remi-php7x

Run

yum-config-manager --disable webtatic
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php70
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php71
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php72

Then you will be able to use PHP 7.3 and any extension

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php73
yum install php-zip

and to install composer of other tools from the repository.

yum install composer
