PHP 7.0.0 Released

emreemre Member, LIR
in General 
The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 7.0.0. This release marks the start of the new major PHP 7 series.

PHP 7.0.0 comes with a new version of the Zend Engine, numerous improvements and new features such as

    Improved performance: PHP 7 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6
    Significantly reduced memory usage
    Abstract Syntax Tree
    Consistent 64-bit support
    Improved Exception hierarchy
    Many fatal errors converted to Exceptions
    Secure random number generator
    Removed old and unsupported SAPIs and extensions
    The null coalescing operator (??)
    Return and Scalar Type Declarations
    Anonymous Classes
    Zero cost asserts

http://www.php.net

Today, we’re pleased to announce that PHP 7.0 - the fastest and most efficient PHP ever - is officially released!

PHP 7.0 brings you unprecedented levels of real-world performance and throughput by utilizing the new and advanced Zend Engine 3.0, designed and refactored for speed and reduced memory consumption. This translates to real-world benefits: greatly decreased response times, superior user experiences, and the ability to serve more users with fewer servers to maximize the power of your PHP 7.0 deployment.

The explosive performance improvements of PHP 7.0 range between 50% and 200% on real-world apps - without changing a single line of code:

    Looks good, I may try to compile it for OpenWRT and test :P

  • NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

    Neaatz, need to upgrade.

  • eastoncheastonch Member

    Anybody know anything about their " Secure random number generator"?

    Interesting claims that it's that much faster! Will have to try this at some point.

  • GM2015GM2015 Member

    I tried rc2 during the summer and wordpress felt somewhat faster and also there was some compatibility issues afair.

    is this in any of the Debian repositories? testing?

    search for debian search toolbar on firefox/iceweasel. I can't remember where I found it or extension search doesn't show it anymore.

    though I really wished firefox search bar in the top right would stop sending originating data to search engines.

    eg
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lowendtalk.com&t=ffsb

    &t=ffsb = t equals firefox search bar

    Try DuckDuckGo plugin and disable search suggestions. Then you use bangs to search from different places.

    Want to search debian packages? Sure, just type "php7 !dpkg". Google? Add !g. Search DDG bangs? Add !bang etc...

    It's very useful to me atleast.

    What I tried to say was that I've got debian packages as another search engine among the other default ones and I got it from firefox marketplace, but I can't find it probably because it's already installed.

    It's great anyway because I use debian 8 at home for work.

    It's just a concern of mine that firefox forwards where the searches are from, as seen on duckduckgo and debian.

    https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=wtf&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all&sourceid=mozilla-search

    See sourceid=mozilla-search

    Amazon:
    https://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=wtf&index=blended&link_code=qs&sourceid=Mozilla-search&tag=mozilla-20

    "&sourceid=Mozilla-search"

    I don't care mozilla tagging amazon searches with affiliate links, Good for them. But sourceid annoys me.

    Dotdeb - PHP 7.0.0 is available for Jessie:

    Packages of the PECL extensions (Memcache, Memcached, Mongo, Redis, Xdebug…) are still missing and require some work from me.

    upgrade from php 5.6 to 7 on my main website, everything works except memcached and w3 total cache does not support php 7 yet.

    btw for the speed, I "feel" no different.

    If your setup is highly cached, you'll see little to no raw performance gain. If you wish to "feel" (at least attempt to) the difference, create a default install on 5.6 vs 7.0.

    The best way to "feel" the difference is to push a ton of traffic :)

    Wonder how long before this makes its way to cpanel.... They're saying itll be part of EA4 which from what I've seen is a broken pieces of trash...

    I've been waiting a long time for ZF3's release and hopefully the release of PHP 7.0.0 boosts the development.

  • JacobJacob Member

    If the benchmarks are true then that's great and I'll switch, otherwise it doesn't really sound that appealing.

    I will have to give it a try on my dev box.

    Memcached not working ? @namhuy

    You really shouldn't dabble in Necrophilia :p

    upgraded from 5.6 to 7, seems like php 7 does not support memcached, I had to remove memcached in order to do the upgrade process.

  • VPNVPN Member

    I haven't got time for bleeding edge software. Too many unknowns this early on. I'd rather wait a few months for developers to catch up so my third party apps don't just die on me.
