I have two php version-7.0.3 and 7.2.12. I want to keep both on my system. When i am installing laravel with command "composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog" it always picks php version 7.0.3, how can i force it to use version-7.2.12 and install laravel 5.7.*?

Use the php binary directly to run the composer command.
/usr/bin/php7.2 /usr/local/bin/composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
The paths to the php and composer binaries might be different for you, make sure to check these first.

i am getting error : Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'Composer/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php7212/lib/php') in /usr/bin/composer on line 8
First install needed php versions eg- 7.4 and 7.1 install both
then
sudo update-alternatives --config php
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/php.default 100 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/php.default 100 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/php7.1 71 manual mode
* 3 /usr/bin/php7.4 74 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/php8.0 80 manual mode
