PHP is not a language that runs on the web browser, but on the server. Upgrading PHP is not a task that can be done just like that.

First, we have to make sure that the server can install the new PHP version (check with host provided), and make sure that the current version of Wordpress is compatible with that version of PHP, or the site may totally stop working.
