Hello,
11 years after the original release of PHP 5, the developers have made the following major release and published PHP 7. With the new release, PHP 7 is now available for all Web Hosting plans with PHP support.
The change of the PHP version can be processed for the entire Web Space globally via the customer panel by using the "PHP configurator".
The new release comes mainly with performance-related optimizations, which run the PHP code faster and more memory efficient. Two new operators "??" ("Zero coalescing operator" - a ternary operator in association with isset ()) and "<=>" ("Spaceship Operator" - to compare two expressions) come with PHP 7. Furthermore, PHP 7 now allows the definition of anonymous classes.
The following language features in PHP 7 are classified as "Deprecated":
- PHP4 class constructors
- Static non-static methods Views
- The password_hash () Option
The compatibility to PHP 5.6 is nonetheless largely protected.
For considerations to the migration to PHP 7, visit the official developer pages under:
