You can add a ppa with PHP7:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php7.0

In the new version lamp-server included php 7. just use the default installation
sudo apt-get install lamp-server
-
That command would give the following error message:
E: Unable to locate package lamp-server. The easiest way to fix your command issudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel install lamp-server. – karel Jul 17 '17 at 13:12

As far as I'm aware PHP7 isn't officially included in your version of Ubuntu (not sure about plans for the future) - so you will have to either find some unofficial packages or build your php7 installation yourself.

PHP7 is not officially included i know that. What i mean is to how to update php in xampp which i installed in ubuntu ! – Dip Dec 04 '15 at 15:56

You should check that then probably with xampp maintainers - if their installation provides PHP7. Otherwise my answer still stays valid - some unofficial debs or own installation/compilation. – Jacek Dec 04 '15 at 16:10
