I am using php-72 without any problems, with the exception of "phpldapadmin";
however, there is a version of that application available that has been updated
to work with the latest versions of PHP. I actually have it installed and
working perfectly, along with phpMyAdmin, ldap-account-manager and joomla3.

I set php72 as the default on my machine since time moves forward not
backwards and I like to keep current whenever possible.

As a foot note, newer versions of joomla3 and the soon to be released joomla4
are not supposed to be compatible with older versions of php. I have not
confirmed that however.
