PHP 7 is an enhanced version of PHP 5 that offers faster performance.
While PHP 5 coding is much simpler than traditional coding, PHP 7.++
provides developers with an improved coding system.
The enhanced PHP 7 engine is considered a next-generation design.

Many third party developers have not taken the plunge
due to concerns about compatibility issues, migration
issues and the odd and awkward feeling that will
take up a lot of their time.
