PHP7 CHANGES “UNDER THE HOOD”
Limitation!
It's still forbidden to define a class constant named as class because of the class name resolution ::class:
In practice, it means that we would drop from 64 to only 1 reserved word that affects only class constant names.
class Foo { const class = 'Foo'; // Fatal error} // Fatal error: Cannot redefine class constant Foo::CLASS as it is reserved in %s on line %d

backward compatibility
breakshttp://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php
Old and new evaluation of indirect expressions
Expression PHP 5 interpretation PHP 7 interpretation
$$foo['bar']['baz'] ${$foo['bar']['baz']} ($$foo)['bar']['baz']
$foo->$bar['baz'] $foo->{$bar['baz']} ($foo->$bar)['baz']
$foo->$bar['baz']() $foo->{$bar['baz']}() ($foo->$bar)['baz']()
Foo::$bar['baz']() Foo::{$bar['baz']}() (Foo::$bar)['baz']()
foreach no longer a the internal array pointer
<?php$array = [0, 1, 2];foreach ($array as &$val) { var_dump(current($array));}?>
Output of the above example in PHP 5: int(1) int(2) bool(false)
Output of the above example in PHP 7: int(0) int(0) int(0)
foreach by-reference has improved iteration behaviour ¶
Output of the above example in PHP 5: int(0)
Output of the above example in PHP 7: int(0) int(1)
<?php$array = [0];foreach ($array as &$val) { var_dump($val); $array[1] = 1;}?>
Changes to Division By Zero
Output of the above example in PHP 5:
Warning: Division by zero in %s on line %dbool(false)
Warning: Division by zero in %s on line %dbool(false)
Warning: Division by zero in %s on line %dbool(false)
<?phpvar_dump(3/0); var_dump(0/0); var_dump(0%0);?>
Output of the above example in PHP 7:
Warning: Division by zero in %s on line %dfloat(INF)
Warning: Division by zero in %s on line %dfloat(NAN)
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught DivisionByZeroError: Modulo by zero in %s line %d
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA removed
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is no longer available. The php://input stream should be used instead.
JSON extension replaced with JSOND ¶
The JSON extension has been replaced with JSOND, causing two minor BC breaks.
Firstly, a number must not end in a decimal point (i.e. 34. must be changed to either 34.0 or 34).
Secondly, when using scientific notation, the e exponent must not immediately follow a decimal point (i.e. 3.e3 must be changed to either 3.0e3 or 3e3).
