I'm basically a PHP
developer. I'm currently using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS on my local machine.
I'm using the following PHP
version for developing my PHP
project:
php -v //command run at terminal to know the `PHP` version installed
PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.13 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jul 7 2014 18:54:55)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
Now a couple of days back a new latest stable release of PHP
version (PHP 5.6.0
) was released by the PHP
development team.
My question is, as I'm using a PHP
version on my local machine which is too old, and also all PHP
versions lower than 5.4
are officially unsupported or announced end-of-life, should I go for PHP 5.6.0
?
If your answer is yes, please explain me how to do it? Will the code I written in my project work properly after this migration? What changes I'll need to do?
If your answer is no, please explain me in detail why?
Before asking this question I've gone through Google and PHP
documentation. There I found migration notes for following version migrations:
**5.3.x->5.4.x
5.4.x->5.5.x
5.5.x->5.6.x**
Didn't get how to migrate from PHP 5.3.10
to PHP 5.6.0
.
So can someone please help me in this regard?
If you need any further information regarding my issue please do let me know.
