After installing CentOS 7 and the newest version of Plesk 12 i discovered that the PHP version on my website 5.6.15 was different from the PHP CLI version 5.4.16.

Do not make the same mistake and remove the php-* packages, this will destroy your Plesk installation!
Install the php5.6 packages using the remi repository:
yum install epel-release
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo
Set enabled=1 for remi-php56:
[remi-php56]
name=Remi's PHP 5.6 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/php56/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi
yum update php
