XenForo on PHP7

[pegasus]

Dmitry was very helpful in fixing some of the issues I complained about. He worked through a few backtraces, and we found the obscure and nasty bugs I was facing. Since that time, I have not noticed any real problems. PHP 7 has crashed on me only once over the past few months, rather than every few minutes.

It looks like all my add-on work fine with php RC6.

I'm seeing a solid 35%-45% improvement on most pages. Especially for the forum home page and high-complexity bbcode threads which can suffer the most under php 5.6. But add-on install is also noticeably faster too.

I'll wait to php7 goes GA before rolling it out to my live site rather than testing.

One day left now

I just tried the RC6 on my forum and to my great surprise most things seems to be working straight out of the box. Hard to test fully though by just browsing around yourself on a development board.

...the performance improvement is clearly noticable with XF (it seems even greater with Wordpress though). Well worth the wait!

FYI, PHP 7 GA has been pushed back by 2 weeks to Nov 26, 2015. Nov 12 will be 7.0.0 RC7 https://community.centminmod.com/posts/20354/

Is there support for memcache/xcache or an alternative already?

Not sure about general availability (via pecl) but for Centmin Mod LEMP's php-fpm, php extensions for memcache no, memcached yes via github PHP 7 specific branch

default loaded extensions for Centmin Mod PHP7 RC

I'm running a LLsMP stack.

With very old software base? http://www.llsmp.cn/update.html

IIRC they're running an illegal nulled version of Litespeed ?

 

[rdn]

I don't know
I just search this

LLsMP

on google, and that link show up.

 

[Jeremy P]

@RoldanLT I think by LLsMP he just meant Linux+Lightspeed+MySQL+PHP. I don't think that's his site.

 

[rdn]

I didn't mean that he own that site.
I just google LLsMP.

 

[Alpha1]

@Jeremy P is correct. I am running this stack of server software:
Linux
LiteSpeed Web Server 5
MySQL 5.7
PHP 7

I'm using PHP7 RC on my live sites (XF1.52) and have not come across any problems with addons or otherwise.

They are noticeably faster than before although I don't know whether that is a result of PHP7, http/2, or switching to Nginx (via Centmin Mod). Probably a combination of all of the above.

PHP 7 GA will be pushed back again, this time by a week. Scheduled release day for PHP 7 GA is now December 3rd.
Plan is to release RC8 tomorrow

http://news.php.net/php.internals/89383

Hi,

based on the discussion of the last few days and the reached consent, the final date of the 7.0.0 RTM is shifted. RC8 is planned to appear on November 26th instead of GA. 7.0.0 RTM will follow shortly on December 3rd.

The final release is going to be identical to RC8 with the exception of the bugs considered security relevant. Those still might be applied, if any.

Looking straight forward to 7.0.0 RTM!

Thanks everyone

Anatol

I have been running RC versions on my test server without issues, but will wait until GA is released to upgrade our main server.

Edit: 3th -> 3rd

Good that they want to fix everything before releasing a stable version.

Been running PHP7 for a week now, it's a lot faster and not run into any problems.

Running PHP7 + php-fpm + Nginx.
