XenForo on PHP7

[rdn]

Using Centminmod, Imagick and Memcahed Module works with Beta 3.

 

[Marcus]

As a sidenode there is an addon from @Xon for redis, the faster memcache alternative. Not sure if redis works for php 7 currently.

Not yet.

Are there any stats from you (just the xenforo debug report at the bottom of the page) about page generation time with php 7 compared to any older php release ?

 

[pegasus]

I should comment that the issues I was having with PHP 7 with infinite loops and pages crashing were resolved by an update earlier this spring and that I have been using it since then relatively issue-free. There are still occasionally segfaults in the logs. If I was running a non-debug build (and thus getting the performance benefits of PHP7), then sometimes these segfaults do result in PHP crashing completely and needing manual cleanup before it will restart. After some months I have not be able to identify code in a script related to this; the core dumps have suggested it may occur during script startup before any code executes.

Once this last segfault is resolved, I will be pleased to finally gain the 50% back by disabling debug-mode and to re-enable the opcache for the extra 70% over PHP 5.6.

I haven't messed with it too much yet but this is what I get with CSS minified and fetching templates as files:

Used centminmod and upgraded to PHP 7. Might do more in-depth comparisons and stuff when I get more time.

This is Index page? and with Live Forum running?

Index page on a separate box to the live forum. Currently exporting a DB to test it against more accurately but that is on a fresh install.

PHP 7 RC 1 is now available: PHP: News Archive - 2015

 

[ŽivaAkcija]

what about plugins, they will work on PHP7 or need changes

 

[Chris D]

Depends on the add on

 

[Naz]

In my testing from a large board's database with around ~100 add-ons, some have fallen down and caused issues. Testing has been brief and I'll probably bring up any issues to respective add-on authors when I get more time but yeah, expect some issues especially with the more larger add-ons.

Running PHP 7.0 RC2 on my live server now.
