A collection of Markdown reference documents summarizing the new features, changes, and backward compatibility breakages in PHP 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2. It acts as a consolidated quick-reference for PHP developers evaluating or performing upgrades across the PHP 7.x series.

Use cases

• what's new in PHP 7
• PHP 7 backward compatibility breakages when upgrading from PHP 5
• PHP 7.1 new features overview
• PHP 7.2 changes and deprecations list
• migrate legacy PHP codebase to PHP 7
• learn PHP 7 scalar type declarations and return types
• PHP 7 upgrade guide with removed features

When to choose

• You are upgrading a PHP 5 application to PHP 7 and need a summary of what will break
• You want a quick, organized overview of the syntax and features introduced in a specific PHP 7.x minor version
• You need a condensed changelog of language-level changes without reading the full RFCs

When to avoid

• You need documentation for PHP 7.3 or later — coverage stops at PHP 7.2 (last updated 2018)
• You want the official, exhaustive PHP manual or complete RFC texts
• You prefer interactive tutorials or runnable example code over prose reference notes
