Hey all,
This isn’t a support thread as this hasn’t been a problem, and don’t know where else to post.
I freshly installed Tumbleweed, and installed what I need for a LAMP stack through the web development pattern. It installed some php5 stuff.
An hour later, I ran a ‘zypper update’ and it upgraded everything to php7.0. Luckily nothing broke!
Just curious why the pattern is on php5 if a simple update increases it to php7.0.
Apologies if I’m overlooking something obvious.

I think the obvious thing to remember is that PHP 7 (7.1 due out by November) is
the new name for PHP 5.7.
Then suddenly it doesn’t seem like such a big step going from PHP 5.6.23 (in
Tumbleweed released June 23, 2016) to 5.7 <cough> I mean 7 (7.0 released
December 3, 2015).
Now… it is true that 7 came off the phpng branch… but also realize that PHP 6
really never saw the light of day, so saying “5.7” is 7, seems to fit at the
moment (watch them release a 5.7 today…sigh).
