CAP 1.0 upgrade for OS and PHP

Any ideas on the way forward are highly welcome.
Help is needed ASAP,thanks in advance

The following worked and upgraded PHP to 7.3

Step 1 — update sources list --------use https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ to generate a list and copy the generated list to etc/apt/sources list and save

Step 2 ---- sudo get-update
Step 3------sudo apt-get upgrade -------------------upgrades ubuntu to 14.04 LTS
Step 4–sudo get update
Step 5 --[server]$ cd ~ * to get to home directory

wget http://www.php.net/distributions/php-7.3.26.tar.gz --------------- *replace link with which ever version of php you want to download *
sha256sum php-7.3.26.tar.gz *…tar -----------substitute with version you downloaded
tar -xvf php-7.3.26.tar.gz * …tar -----------substitute with version you downloaded
mkdir local
cd ~/php-7.3.26.tar.gz …file/mirror name according to what you downloaded
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
