PHP is a well-known general-purpose server web scripting language. Very many online sites are written in PHP. PHP has been evolving over the years, enriching its functionality, making it easier to use, and better to organize scripting languages. PHP development team is preparing for the next PHP version of the release, the name is PHP 7. Now that PHP is PHP version 5.6, you probably know that PHP 6 has gone aborted. PHP 7 proponents do not want the next major version to be confused by other branches, which have been around for a long time. So the next major release of PHP is called PHP 7, not PHP 6. PHP 7.0 is expected to be released in November of this year.
In the next major PHP version there are some good features:
In order to improve the implementation of efficiency and memory footprint, the new version adds the PHPNG function.
The JIT engine was introduced to dynamically compile the Zend opcodes as natural machine code for faster processing performance. This feature allows subsequent programs to call the same code, which will run much faster.
AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) is a newly added feature that enhances support for PHP extensibility and user applications.
Add asynchronous programming capabilities to support parallel tasks in the same request.
The new version will support an independent multi-threaded web server, so you can use a separate storage pool to deal with a lot of concurrent requests.
Install PHP 7 on CentOS / Fedora
Let's take a look at how to install PHP7 on CentOS 7 and Fedora 21. In order to install PHP7, we first need to clone the php-src repository. When the cloning work is complete, we re-configure and compile it. Before proceeding to the next step, make sure that you have installed the following components on the LInux system, otherwise PHP compilation returns an error abort.
Git
Autoconf
Gcc
Bison
All of the above-mentioned requirements can be installed using Yum Package Manager. This is done with one command:
Yum install git autoconf gcc bison
Ready to start installing PHP7? Let us first create a PHP7 directory, as your current working directory.
Mkdir php7
Cd php7
Now clone the php-src repository and run the following command in the terminal.
Git clone https://git.php.net/repository/php-src.git
Work should be completed in a few minutes, here is a sample output, you should see the completion of the task.
[Root @ localhost php7] # git clone https://git.php.net/repository/php-src.git

Resolving deltas: 100% (492063/492063), done.
Let us configure, compile PHP7, run the following command in the terminal, start the configuration work:
Cd php-src
./buildconf
The following is a sample output of the ./buildconf command.
[Root @ localhost php-src] #. / Buildconf
Buildconf: checking installation ...
Buildconf: autoconf version 2.69 (ok)
Rebuilding aclocal.m4
Rebuilding configure
Rebuilding main / php_config.h.in
Use the following command to continue the configuration process:
./configure \
--prefix = $ HOME / php7 / usr \
--with-config-file-path = $ HOME / php7 / usr / etc \
--enable-mbstring
--enable-zip \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-pcntl \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-exif \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-sysvmsg \
--enable-sysvsem \
--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-wddx \
--with-curl \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-iconv \
--with-gmp \
--with-pspell \
--with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir = / usr \
--with-png-dir = / usr \
--with-zlib-dir = / usr \
--with-xpm-dir = / usr \
--with-freetype-dir = / usr \
--with-t1lib = / usr \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--enable-gd-jis-conv \
--with-openssl \
--with-mysql = / usr \
--with-pdo-mysql = / usr \
--with-gettext = / usr \
--with-zlib = / usr \
--with-bz2 = / usr \
--with-recode = / usr \
--with-mysqli = / usr / bin / mysql_config
This will take a lot of time, when finished you should see the following output:
Creating libtool
Appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
Generating files
Configure: creating ./config.status
Creating main / internal_functions.c
Creating main / internal_functions_cli.c

Run the following command to complete the compilation process.
Make
The sample output of the "make" command looks like this:
Generating phar.php
Generating phar.phar
PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed: generated phar will require PHP's phar extension be enabled.
Clicommand.inc

Build complete.
Do not forget to run 'make test'.
Work done, the installation of PHP7, run the following command to install it.
Make install
The sample output of a successful installation process should look something like this:

Congratulations, PHP7 has been installed on your Linux system. After installation, enter the php7 installation file in the sapi / cli inside.
Cd sapi / cli
Verify the PHP version.
