I left the PHP community years ago, but...but...where is PHP 6? What was the reason to skip it?
- wnevets 11y agoIIRC this release is so different from the planned 6 release they thought it would be confusing to people who bought/read those PHP6 books.
- Acconut 11y agoFunnily, there is no PHP 6. While work had begun for this version, it was later abandoned due to some major issues regarding Unicode handling, as far as I know. Most of the features already implemented in PHP 6 were shipped in PHP 5.4 and they continued with PHP 7 in order to avoid confusion.
