For what it's worth, I would really like to see PHP7 in Ubuntu 16.04. Is there anything I could do to help it to happen?
I wouldn't exactly call PHP7 a revolution - it's faster, and it has some nice features (particularly valuable for me are return type hinting and scalar type hinting). I've upgraded a few applications from PHP5.3 to PHP7.0 without any changes to the code. I did have to change configuration like where the PHP 7.0 FPM is located, but that was it, and the speed improvement was noticeable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522422 Title: PHP5 branch and PHP7 branch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1522422/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
