Beta Features/PHP7/fr

La Fondation Wikimedia emploie le pour maintenir MediaWiki en service et ce depuis 2014. Depuis lors, quelque petites choses se sont passées qui ont fini par nous convaincre de revenir à l’interpréteur « officiel » :


 * PHP 7.x has brought huge performance improvements, so that its performance is nowadays comparable to, if not better than, HHVM for our needs.
 * HHVM has dropped support for pure PHP in favour of Hack, an "evolution" of PHP which doesn't have widespread support.

The Wikimedia Foundation is moving all Wikimedia wikis to use PHP7 in early 2019. PHP7 will be available from January 2019.

You can verify that it is enabled for you by visiting Special:Version on your wiki, and checking that it says "php" instead of "HHVM" in the "Installed software" table.

Questions and answers

 * When will this happen?
 * Work began in 2017, ramped up over 2018, and should be production-complete in the first half of 2019.
 * What should I do if I find an issue?
 * Report it on Phabricator, in the PHP 7.2 support project.
 * Why are edits being tagged?
 * This will help us identify performance, functional and stability concerns specific to PHP in comparison to HHVM. You can ignore the PHP7 tags.
