Why UpgradePHP5 to PHP7

Why upgrade? PHP5 to PHP7

PHP 5is now 13 years old

+ PHP 7

is mature enough

Upshift in performance withPHPNG

(PHP Next Generation)

=at par with

Facebook HHVM(HipHop Virtual Machine)

Run up to 3x Magento transactions on the same hardware

With execution time more than twice as fast compared to PHP 5.6 and 30% lower memory consumption - servers running PHP 7 will be able to serve up to 3x as many requests as those running PHP 5.6.

Drupal 8 runs 72% faster with PHP 7

WordPress Screams on PHP 7. You’ll need less

servers to serve the same amount of users!

One WordPress request on PHP 5.6 executes just under

100M CPU instructions, while PHP 7 only executes 25M to

do the same job.

We also tested how various PHP frameworks perform

under PHP 7

Significant memory saving

Introduction ofScalar Type Hints & Return Types

(string, int, float, bool)

declare(strict_types=1);

function add(int $a, int $b) {

return $a + $b;}

var_dump(add(1,2));

declare(strict_types=1);

function add(int $a, int $b) : int {

return (string)($a + $b);}

var_dump(add(1,2));

Scalar type hints Return type declaration

Introduction ofSpaceship Operator

Introduction ofNull Coalesce Operator

$name = isset($firstname) ? $firstname : “Guest”;

$name = $firstname ?? “Guest”;

$name = $firstname ?? $username ?? $nickname “Guest”;

Introduction ofAnonymous Classes

class className {

// defined properties and methods

$object = new className( 'arguments' );

$object = new class( 'arguments' ) {

// defined properties and methods

Installation

Ubuntusudo apt-get install php5-mysql

CentOSyum install php-pdo php-mysql

Example : Connection

// MySQL$dbh = new PDO(“mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname, $user, $pass”);

// MSSQL$dbh = new PDO(“mssql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname, $user, $pass”);

// Sybase$dbh = new PDO(“sybase:host=$host;dbname=$dbname, $user, $pass”);

// SQLite$dbh = new PDO(“sqlite:my/database/path/database.db”);

Example : Named placeholders

// No placeholders$sth = $dbh->prepare(“INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ($name, $email)”);

// Unnamed placeholders$sth = $dbh->prepare(“INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (?, ?)”);$sth->bindParam(1, $name);$sth->bindParam(2, $email);

// Named placeholders$sth = $dbh->prepare(“INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (:name, :email)”);$sth->bindParam(‘:name’, $name);$sth->bindParam(‘:email’, $email);

// Execute$sth->execute();
