How to enable php7 module in apache?
First, disable the php5
module:
a2dismod php5
then, enable the php7
module:
a2enmod php7.0
Next, reload/restart the Apache service:
service apache2 restart

wrt the comment, you need to specify exact installed php-7.x version.
I found the solution on the following thread : https://askubuntu.com/questions/760907/upgrade-to-16-04-php7-not-working-in-browser
Im my case not only the php wasn't working but phpmyadmin aswell i did step by step like that
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php sudo apt install php7.0-mbstring sudo a2dismod mpm_event sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork service apache2 restart
And then to:
gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
In the last line I do add Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
That make a deal with all problems
