Link Post: From PHP 5 to 7
An interesting history of PHP and why they're skipping version 6.
Here is a brief summary of the reasons outlined supporting the decision to release the next version as PHP 7:
- PHP6 already existed, and there are plenty of numbers available (so it's easy to make a new version number).
- It could confuse people since PHP6 was a widely known project, and this release is unrelated.
- There's lots of PHP6 information on the web which does not apply to this release.
