What are the advantages/disadvantages for hosts to migrate to PHP 7

Give PHP 7 a whirl and see what you think.

It is always up to the developer which changes to implement

I have given 7 whirl. In fact I love 7. The reality of the matter is I work for a company that runs 5.x servers. So I know how difficult it can be to upgrade. Hence the reason I’m playing devils advocate…

I am testing on PHP 7 and currently running 5.6 in production. Once I am sure nothing breaks on my test server I will upgrade the production one.

Yes, which is the correct means of upgrading. Not working on 7 locally when production is 5 without an upgrade effort.

I have both version 7 and 5 on local.

I don’t feel it’s an unwise thing working with version 7.

I figure it gives me time to get everything into working order and polished before it needs to be done.
When the inevitable happens I’ll be closer to being ready for it.

But then, I’m not working under any job imposed deadlines.
