PHP 7 offers an improvement in speed over its previous PHP 5.6 version. Comparing to PHP 5.6, PHP 7 has reduced demands on servers, making it more cost-effective and an environment-friendly choice as less energy is required to power servers running PHP 7 applications.

PHP 7 Features:

• Error handling replaced with object-oriented exceptions. This change will help developers to track and fix the bugs in their code.
• The syntax for the foreach statement has changed.
• No more comments in INI file. Instead of putting a # symbol with the comment, use ";" semi-colon.
• In PHP 5.6, the bug which makes the switch statement to have multiple default classes is now fixed.
• The list () operator doesn't support string anymore
