CHANGED BEHAVIOR IN PHP 7
Source: Hernán Piñera on flickr.com

FATAL ERRORS
๏ Fatal and recoverable fatal errors are now “Throwable”
๏ These errors inherit from “Error” class
๏ The “Errors” class is on the same level as ExcepFon class
๏ Both “Errors” and “ExcepFons” implement “Throwable”
interface
๏ Has an effect on:
๏ “set_excepFon_handler”: can receive Errors and ExcepFons
๏ all internal classes now throw ExcepFon on construct failure
๏ Parse errors now throw “ParseError”

EXAMPLE ERROR PHP 5 VS 7
<?php
$example = new Example();
// PHP 5 error outputs:
// PHP Fatal error: Class 'Example' not found in php7-workshop/errors.php on line 4
// PHP Stack trace:
// PHP 1. {main}() php7-workshop/errors.php:0
// PHP 7 error outputs:
// PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Example' not found in php7-workshop/errors.php:4
// Stack trace:
// #0 {main}
// thrown in php7-workshop/errors.php on line 4
//
// Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Example' not found in php7-workshop/errors.php on line 4
//
// Error: Class 'Example' not found in php7-workshop/errors.php on line 4

EXCEPTION HANDLING
<?php

}
}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->bar();
// PHP 5.6.4
// foo-bar
// #0 php7-workshop/Errors/errorhandler.php(24): Foo->bar()

BREAKING BC

THESE MIGHT BREAK STUFF
๏ Throw on passing too few funcFon arguments
๏ Forbid dynamic calls to scope introspecFon funcFons
๏ Invalid class, interface, and trait names
๏ void
๏ iterable
๏ Numerical string conversions now respect scienFfic notaFon
๏ Fixes to mt_rand() algorithm
๏ rand() aliased to mt_rand() and srand() aliased to mt_srand()
๏ Disallow the ASCII delete control character (0x7F) in idenFfiers
๏ error_log changes with syslog error values

THESE MIGHT BREAK STUFF (2)
๏ Do not call destructors on incomplete objects
๏ call_user_func() handling of reference arguments
๏ The empty index operator is not supported for strings anymore
๏ $str[] = $x throws a fatal error
๏ Removed ini direcFves
๏ session.entropy_file
๏ session.entropy_length
๏ session.hash_funcFon
๏ session.hash_bits_per_character

DEPRECATED FEATURES

THESE ARE NOW DEPRECATED
๏ ext/mcrypt
๏ Eval opFon for mb_ereg_replace() and mb_eregi_replace()

CHANGED FUNCTIONS

PHP CORE
๏ getopt() has an opFonal third parameter that exposes the index of the next
element in the argument vector list to be processed. This is done via a by-
ref parameter.
๏ getenv() no longer requires its parameter. If the parameter is omiTed, then
the current environment variables will be returned as an associaFve array.
๏ get_headers() now has an addiFonal parameter to enable for the passing of
custom stream contexts.
๏ long2ip() now also accepts an integer as a parameter.
๏ output_reset_rewrite_vars() no longer resets session URL rewrite variables.
๏ parse_url() is now more restricFve and supports RFC3986.
๏ unpack() now accepts an opFonal third parameter to specify the offset to
begin unpacking from.

OTHER CHANGED FUNCTIONS
๏ File System
๏ tempnam() now emits a noFce when falling back to the system's temp
directory.
๏ JSON
๏ json_encode() now accepts a new opFon,
JSON_UNESCAPED_LINE_TERMINATORS, to disable the escaping of U+2028
and U+2029 characters when JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE is supplied.
๏ MulTbyte String
๏ mb_ereg() now rejects illegal byte sequences.
๏ mb_ereg_replace() now rejects illegal byte sequences.
๏ PDO
๏ PDO::lastInsertId() for PostgreSQL will now trigger an error when nextval
has not been called for the current session (the postgres connecFon).

POSTGRESQL
๏ pg_last_noFce() now accepts an opFonal parameter to specify an
operaFon. This can be done with one of the following new
constants: PGSQL_NOTICE_LAST, PGSQL_NOTICE_ALL, or
PGSQL_NOTICE_CLEAR.
๏ pg_fetch_all() now accepts an opFonal second parameter to
specify the result type (similar to the third parameter of
pg_fetch_array()).
๏ pg_select() now accepts an opFonal fourth parameter to specify
the result type (similar to the third parameter of pg_fetch_array()).

OTHER CHANGES

OTHER CHANGES
๏ NoFces and warnings on arithmeFc with invalid strings
๏ New E_WARNING and E_NOTICE errors have been introduced
when invalid strings are coerced using operators expecFng
numbers
๏ E_NOTICE is emiTed when the string begins with a numeric
value but contains trailing non-numeric characters
๏ E_WARNING is emiTed when the string does not contain a
numeric value
๏ Warn on octal escape sequence overflow
๏ Inconsistency fixes to $this
๏ Session ID generaFon without hashing

CLOSING REMARKS & QUESTIONS

OTHER THINGS THAT CHANGED
๏ FuncFon “set_excepFon_handler()” is no longer guaranteed to
receive ExcepTon objects but Throwable objects
๏ Error reporFng E_STRICT noFces severity changes as some have
been changed and will not trigger an error
๏ The deprecated “set_socket_blocking()” alias has been removed in
favour of “stream_set_blocking()”
๏ Switch statements cannot have mulFple default blocks
๏ FuncFons cannot have mulFple parameters with the same name
๏ PHP funcFons “func_get_arg()” and “func_get_args()” now return
current argument values
