Php 7 Set For Release In November. Will Cs-Cart Support It?

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?

Great idea; )

Just 12 days left before PHP7 Gold is released. Will CS-Cart be ready for it in the near future?

Suggest you send a message to sales@cs-cart.com since they obviously are not chiming in here. You could also submit it as a bug in bugtracker that there is not enough information to know whether it will be supported.....

PHP 7.0.0 released!

http://php.net/archive/2015.php

  • Improved performance: PHP 7 is up to twice as fast as PHP 5.6
  • Significantly reduced memory usage
  • Abstract Syntax Tree
  • Consistent 64-bit support
  • Improved Exception hierarchy
  • Many fatal errors converted to Exceptions
  • Secure random number generator
  • Removed old and unsupported SAPIs and extensions
  • The null coalescing operator (??)
  • Return and Scalar Type Declarations
  • Anonymous Classes
  • Zero cost asserts

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.

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

Hello imac,

How about twigmo and php7 to improve perfomace?

Twigmo uses core CS-Cart functions, so I suppose its performance will also be improved after we make CS-Cart compatible with PHP7.

Just playing with other engines on PHP7 realized significantly improvements in performance.

Yes, I get major speed improvements with other php software. Twice as fast.

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
Time taken for tests:   60.006 seconds
Complete requests:      499
Failed requests:        0
Keep-Alive requests:    0
Total transferred:      101859373 bytes
HTML transferred:       101581430 bytes
Requests per second:    8.32 [#/sec] (mean)
Time per request:       1202.523 [ms] (mean)
Time per request:       120.252 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate:          1657.70 [Kbytes/sec] received

Same on PHP7.0.1 (opcache, apcu)

Document Path:          /
Document Length:        203529 bytes

Concurrency Level: 10
Time taken for tests: 60.171 seconds
Complete requests: 1222
Failed requests: 0
Keep-Alive requests: 0
Total transferred: 249363764 bytes
HTML transferred: 248712438 bytes

Time per request: 49.240 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests)
Transfer rate: 4047.10 [Kbytes/sec] received

I should notice that all add-ons were disabled.

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.

Hi demeldoo,

Hello imac,
Just few questions :wink:
Is 4.3.5 compatible with php7?

No. It does not support PHP 7.

What’s the plan for with cs cart? Which future version will be fully supported

4.3.6 should support PHP7

And how about boostrap 3?
