apache2 php not executed

When I go to pages in localhost, only php code is shown. This version:

$ php -v PHP 7.0.10-2+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 (cli) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.10-2+deb.sury.org~xenial+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies 

I tried to do Upgrade to 16.04. php7 not working in browser but

sudo a2enmod php7.0 ERROR: Module php7.0 does not exist! 

When I click tab while

sudo a2enmod php7 

it completes to

sudo a2enmod php7.0.load.dpkg-dist 

but result is same

$ sudo a2enmod php7.0.load.dpkg-dist ERROR: Module php7.0.load.dpkg-dist does not exist! 

I installed php like this:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get remove php5-common -y sudo apt-get purge php5-common -y sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql -y sudo apt-get --purge autoremove -y 

I did not enable fpm.

I have all these packages.

$ a2enmod php php5.6 php7.0.load.dpkg-dist $ a2enmod php5.6 Considering dependency mpm_prefork for php5.6: Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork: ERROR: Module mpm_event is enabled - cannot proceed due to conflicts. It needs to be disabled first! Considering conflict mpm_worker for mpm_prefork: ERROR: Could not enable dependency mpm_prefork for php5.6, aborting 

I delete 5.6 but it's still shown; why?

You need to choose between mpm_worker vs mpm_prefork (or mpm_event). Only one Apache MPM module. Try:

sudo a2dismod mpm_worker sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork sudo systemctl restart apache2.service 

Take a look at this excellent answer at Serverfault.
