sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.3

Solution

Add Ondrej PPA repository to your system.

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update

Install php7.3 and check it's installed.

sudo apt install -y php7.3
php -v

This also works for php 7.4, php7.2 and php5.6. Just change the relevant digits.
