Made the switch last weekend. It runs good.
Can't really feel the difference between php 5.2.6 which I had before, except some small features like preg_replace e-modifier.

You're talking about PHP v7? Would love to switch too, but it does not support memcached yet.

Using it for shitty hosting environments. PHP is OK for websites.
>>51896175
Yes I am.
The CLI server is ok for small testing, as soon as you find a memory leak or something like that the server crashes and you have to ctrl c and start again.
Basically it works for testing a block of code, but if you're developing a website use an actual server.
It's 2015, who still uses PHP save for people who are trapped by an existing codebase?

what should I use then?
For anything relatively simple and while you're learning, the built-in server is more than fine. Once you move into producing something of value, you might want to look into setting up a virtual machine that mimics the production environment with apache or nginx and all that.

>50k salary is good
Can we all wrap our heads around the concept that what is and isn't a "good" salary depends on where you live (I.e. cost of living) and your experience?
For further excitement, consider the possibility that something like web development could be done remotely, allowing one to get paid E.g. an SF wage but live somewhere cheap like Brazil. For example.
