✔ engine improvements

  • 100%+ performance gain on most real-world applications
  • Lower memory usage, sometimes drastically lower

✔ Persistent secondary file-based cache for OPCache

PHP 7 Exception Hierarchy


  • Throwable
  • Exception implements Throwable
  • Error implements Throwable
  • TypeError extends Error
  • ParseError extends Error

✔ Return Types

function get_config(): array {
    return 42;
}
get_config();
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of get_config() must be
of the type array, integer returned in file:2
Stack trace:
#0 file(4): get_config()
#1 {main}
  thrown in file on line 2

✔ Coercive Scalar Types

function logmsg(string $msg, int $level, float $severity) {
    var_dump($msg);      // string(1) "1"
    var_dump($level);    // int(2)
    var_dump($severity); // float(3)
}
logmsg(1, "2.5 bananas", 3);
Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in file on line 2

✔ Strict Scalar Types

declare(strict_types=1);
...
logmsg(1, "2.5", 3);
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to logmsg() must be of the
type string, integer given, called in file on line 7 and defined in file:3
Stack trace:
#0 file(7): logmsg(1, '2.5', 3)
#1 {main}
  thrown in file on line 2

✔ Anonymous Classes

return new class($controller) implements Page {
    public function __construct($controller) {
        /* ... */
    }
    /* ... */
};

class MyObject extends MyStuff {
    public function getInterface() {
        return new class implements MyInterface {
            /* ... */
        };
    }
}

✔ Coalesce Operator

$a = NULL;
$b = 0;
$c = 2;

echo $a ?? $b; // 0
echo $c ?? $b; // 2
echo $a ?? $b ?? $c; // 0
echo $a ?? $x ?? $c; // 2

✔ Spaceship Operator

|=|  Tie Fighter
k=k  Tie Interceptor
<==> Tie Bomber  
<=>  Tie Advanced X1 ✔
function cmp_php5($a, $b) {
    return ($a < $b) ? -1 : (($a >$b) ? 1 : 0);
}

function cmp_php7($a, $b) {
    return $a <=> $b;
}

✔ Zero-cost Assertions

function test($arg) {
    assert($arg > 20 && $arg < 110, "$arg is invalid");
}
ini_set('zend.assertions',0); test(16);
ini_set('zend.assertions',1); test(17);
ini_set('assert.exception',1); test(18);
Warning: assert(): 17 is invalid failed in file on line 2
Fatal error: Uncaught AssertionError: 18 is invalid in file:2
Stack trace:
#0 file(2): assert(false, '18 is invalid')
#1 file(6): test(18)
#2 {main}
  thrown in file on line 2
; Completely skip compiling assert() calls
; (can only be set in php.ini)
zend.assertions = -1

✔ Added Closure::call()

$f = function () {
    return $this->n;
};
class MyClass {
    private $n = 42;
}
$myC = new MyClass;
$c = $f->bindTo($myC, "MyClass");
$c();
$f = function () {
    return $this->n;
};
class MyClass {
    private $n = 42;
}
$myC = new MyClass;
$f->call($myC);

✔ Removal of many deprecated features
     (Your PHP4 code will break!)

- ext/ereg (use ext/pcre instead)
- preg_replace() eval modifier (use preg_replace_callback() instead)

✔ New reserved words:

  • bool
  • int
  • float
  • string
  • null
  • false
  • true
  • resource
  • object
  • mixed
  • numeric

✔ 64-bit integer support on Windows

✔ Cleanup edge-case integer overflow/underflow

✔ Support for strings with length >= 2^31 bytes in 64 bit builds.

✔ Parse error on invalid numeric literals

$mask = 0855;  // Parse error: Invalid numeric literal

✔ Uniform variable syntax

// left-to-right
$this->$belongs_to['column']
// vs.
$this->{$belongs_to['column']}

// support missing combinations of operations
$foo()['bar']()
[$obj1, $obj2][0]->prop
getStr(){0}
 
// support nested ::
$foo['bar']::$baz
$foo::$bar::$baz
$foo->bar()::baz()
 
// support nested ()
foo()()
$foo->bar()()
Foo::bar()()
$foo()()
 
// support operations on arbitrary (...) expressions
(...)['foo']
(...)->foo
(...)->foo()
(...)::$foo
(...)::foo()
(...)()
 
// two more practical examples for the last point
(function() { ... })()
($obj->closure)()
 
// support all operations on dereferencable scalars
// (not very useful)
"string"->toLower()
[$obj, 'method']()
'Foo'::$bar

✔ Unicode Codepoint Escape Syntax

echo "\u{202E}Right-to-left text";

echo "\u{1F602}";
‮Right-to-left text😂		

✔ ICU IntlChar class added to intl extension

✔ CSPRNG

$int   = random_int(-500, 500);
$bytes = random_bytes(10);

var_dump( $int );
var_dump( bin2hex($bytes) );
int(-385)

Test your applications

Test your extensions

It is really easy!

Full Vagrant Debian Dev Environment

Or if you prefer Docker:

github.com/janatzend/docker-php7-nightly-build

Install Vagrant and Virtualbox

Then:

$ git clone https://github.com/rlerdorf/php7dev.git

$ cd php7dev

$ vagrant up
... (takes a bit - it is downloading 1.5G)

$ vagrant ssh

It will NAT, DHCP and also has a fixed address of 192.168.7.7

http://192.168.7.7/ will show you the PHP 7 phpinfo() page

Now you have a working Rasmus-approved dev box on your network

Switching PHP versions is trivial

vagrant@php7dev:~$ newphp 56
Activating PHP 5.6.6-dev and restarting php-fpm

vagrant@php7dev:~$ newphp 7 debug
Activating PHP 7.0.0-dev and restarting php-fpm
