PHP versions? #242

Closed kevinquillen closed 9 years ago

Is it possible to install the latest versions of PHP 5.6 and possibly 7?

We should already have the latest version of PHP 5.6. Correct me if I'm wrong here :)

PHP 7 is currently in development and therefore would need to be compiled. Having done this recently (http://www.hashbangcode.com/blog/compiling-and-installing-php7-ubuntu) and seen first hand how long this step takes I would suggest that we wait until a full release (and therefore available in the apt-get/yum channels) before baking it into Vlad.

We could potentially add a flag for PHP 7 that would mean PHP isn't installed, but you may as well start with an empty box in this case.

So I'm going to close this issue for now. When a full release of PHP 7 is announced then we'll re-visit this.
