PHP 7 is (Almost) Here. OMG! PANIC! — Adam Harvey — php[tek] 2015
Session recording from our php[tek] conference:
If all goes well, PHP 7 will be released late this year. Given that PHP 5.6 will be completely end of lifed less than two years later, there's going to be a relatively narrow window for migrating from PHP 5 to PHP 7. This migration may include dealing with backward compatibility breaks, but don't panic! In this session, I'll talk about what's changing, what's not changing, and how to deal with these changes both in terms of performing a one-way migration and keeping code compatible with both PHP 5 and 7.
