Yes, it is available for CentOS 7. You just have to add "Webtatic EL yum repository" information corresponding to your CentOS/RHEL version to yum, like :
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
You can install php now, using :
yum install php56w php56w-opcache
Once completed, check php version by using command,
php -v
Update
as suggested by @jsbillings, Webtatic is listed as one of the 'known problem' repos on the CentOS Wiki. You can use IUS or SCL from CentOS Wiki instead of Webtatic.

Red Hat has been working on a set of repositories called Software Collections (SCL). CentOS 7 includes a similar set of repositories which make it easier to install PHP 5.6, 7.1, and other things not available in the base repositories. I also recommend using EPEL and if you haven't changed defaults, it's as easy as:
yum install epel-release
yum install centos-release-scl
Now you should have access to all of the EPEL and SCL packages. To install PHP 7.1, you can simply
yum install rh-php71
It will add the packages to /opt/rh/rh-php71/root/*, but the php.ini configuration will reside in /etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/. To make the newly installed version of PHP the default PHP used from the command line, you can add to a file in /etc/profile.d/ :
printf '#!/bin/bash\nsource scl_source enable rh-php71\n' > /etc/profile.d/php71.sh ; chmod ugo+r /etc/profile.d/php71.sh
The process is similar for PHP 5.6. All of the other pre-built packages for PHP 7.1 can be found with:
yum search php71
More information about the EPEL and SCL repositories can be found here:
