Not a place to discuss this thing, but any how pardon me. Would any member suggest great book on PHP7? Because we will be able to do our own work when CS-Cart does support it. Of course I know Google and Amazon are my friends, but community is my best friend.
PHP 7 will be released on november 21st 2015. PHP 7 is twice as fast as PHP 5.6 and as such its an amazing upgrade. Its really worth it to upgrade to it. I wonder though if CS-Cart is planning to support PHP7 in an upcoming release? Have any tests been carried out to see if there are any incompatibilities between CSCart 4.3 and PHP7?

P-Pharma, if you do it, please share their response
Guys, We are working on this right now. Hope to share the results with you within 2-3 weeks. I hope to include PHP7 support in 4.3.6
We've made some tests on performance.
Here are the results of CS-Cart 4.3.5 on PHP 5.6.16 (opcache, apcu) using Apache AB benchmark:
Concurrency Level: 10

imac, thank you. Is there a way to perform the same tests with the enabled modules?
Yes, but not right now, I suppose we will do these tests during news preparing. Most probably 4.3.6 release announcement will have performance tests (of course with enabled add-on).
Also, can you verify that Phar will work with normal standard tar/tgz archives that may or may not contain "./" in the archive? Apparently the broke Phar again in 5.6

Hello imac,
Just few questions ;)
Is 4.3.5 compatible with php7?
What's the plan for with cs cart? Which future version will be fully supported

We are working on it. Will let you know as soon as we find a solution.
