  • If you are getting started with PHP, start with the current stable release of PHP 5.6. PHP has added powerful new features over the last few years. For eg:
    -Object-oriented Programming
    -Functional Programming
    -Meta Programming

    Though the incremental version number difference between 5.2 and 5.6 is small, it represents major improvements.

    my only issues was with some oo class stuff, besides that not many errors to the switch to 7

    At the time of writing this, PHP 7 is quite supported and already available on all major web hosting platforms. We`ve transferred all of our client sites (WordPress) to PHP 7, and benchmarks show that the speed has doubled and memory consumption fell sharply. Can`t recommend it enough. There were some incompatibilities with some plugins, but we straightened them out. So far, so good.
