"Magento supports PHP 7.0.2, 7.0.4, and 7.0.6" error message when I have PHP 7.2.12

Question

Having installed the DB for Magento 2.2.6 I get this error message when trying to initiate setup;

http://www.ben-grant.co.uk/magento226/

"Magento supports PHP 7.0.2, 7.0.4, and 7.0.6 or later. Please read Magento System Requirements."

The version of PHP I am running is 7.2.12 so wondered if anyone would know why this error is occurring?

Answer 1

You can change PHP version 7.1.x to fix the issue.

Also read devdocs system-requirements:

Hope it helps!
