Debian announced the upcoming upgrade to PHP7. Debian GNU/Linux developers announced their plans to upgrade PHP 5 to the new powerful PHP 7, and will also change other software packages jointly installed in the PHP package.
A few days ago, Debian developer Ond was announced in the Debian project developer email list that they would make some changes in the pkg-php software group. That is, a few days after we have reported that the upcoming Ubuntu Xenial Xerus will provide PHP 7 messages.
"If you are interested in further discussions, so I recommend that you add pkg-php-maint, pkg-php-pecl, and pkg-php-pear, where we have discussed further details. We don't want to generate a lot of traffic. Fortunately, most of the packages are managed through pkg-php-pecl and pkg-php-pear, so we can fix most of the packages by ourselves ."
The Debian developer has taken the necessary time and has pushed PHP 7 to the Debian system of the non-stable branch to help users who develop the Debian system to perform relevant tests. In the long description, The Ond javasej Sur plugin explains in detail the changes made to the PHP package so far. Linux Story editor strongly recommends that you carefully read the changes before using them. In contrast, Ubuntu and CentOS support PHP 7, which has been tried by many netizens, will keep a close eye on Linux Story.
If you can, the Linux Strory editor strongly recommends that you help improve Debian, one of the world's best free operating systems, and help Debian developers fully test PHP 7 in this branch. PHP 7 is a revolution that provides powerful new features. We will see more and more GNU/Linux operating systems providing PHP 7 in the coming weeks or months.
