I'm currently using XAMPP V3.2.1 and am looking for some advice on what version of XAMPP and PHP do i upgrade to, as there are 3 options, (5.5.30 / PHP 5.5.30) or (5.6.15 / PHP 5.6.15) or (7.0.2 / PHP 7.0.2). My first thoughts are "I should download the 7.0.2 / PHP 7.0.2 version" but does that mean i will have browser compatibility issues or content display errors when customers look at my site?
Thank you for the reply. I'm trying to develop an eCommerce site from scratch in PHP and SQL,then implement the PayPal API/SDK, so i shouldn't have any problems unless the customers browser isn't up to date?
PHP 7 version dont have mysql_ functions, only mysqli_ so if you try running some old stuff, it may not work
if you're gonna try developing something, well go ahead and start with PHP7, no reason to do stuff on old versions
and PHP7 is about 2x faster than previous versions (well i tested it on linux, not xampp, but still) and way less memory usage
