PHP 7 is the next upgrade from PHP 5? I am very new to PHP and learning from a book which is PHP 5.

  Yes, but more or less everything you know about PHP 5 is still true and will work just fine in PHP 7. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6#historical_context https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6#historical_context http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php

  Try `print false;` and see if you get the result you expect[0]. Because it differs compared to node, perl, python(Yes Yes first char uppercase) and other languages I can not think of. Also good luck with the param ordering of `array_map` compared to `array_filter` and `array_reduce`. Actually get use to the word array. Because in 2009 the PHP developers did not think array is a important data type that needs a short hand array() vs [], and all their function names `array_` shows this ugliness. I would advice rather spend your time learning python or javascript. But I acknowledge PHP became a de facto standard with MediaWiki, WordPress, Facebook, dragging the broken language into the 21st century.

      Once the comment gets to a certain age (an hour?), it's no longer editable.
