Have you tried this?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

sudo apt-get install php7.3 php7.3-cli php7.3-mysql php7.3-gd php7.3-imagick php7.3-recode php7.3-tidy php7.3-xmlrpc php7.3-common php7.3-curl php7.3-mbstring php7.3-xml php7.3-bcmath php7.3-bz2 php7.3-intl php7.3-json php7.3-readline php7.3-zip

sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.3

sudo a2enmod php7.3

after successfully installing, execute :

sudo service apache2 restart

FYI, I recommended you use the latest PHP or switch to the LTS version.
