Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's installer scripts and comparing the Linuxbrew, Nix, and Docker approaches named in the issue. Done means defining and implementing a reliable way to provide PHP 7.2 across the supported Linux distributions, but the issue does not identify specific files, tests, or a final approach.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Can we use something like http://linuxbrew.sh/ to get PHP atleast on every Linux distro?
Or https://github.com/NixOS/nix ?
Or is there another way/script which can magically ensure we get PHP 7.2.

After that its Docker which is easier to install.
