- Question :Developers who work on PHP is it easy to migrate from version to version?
- Question :Are there any extensive compatibility issues, forward or backward?
- Question :Does your project stick to a particular version till the end ?
- Question :Does the programming style ,approach change from version to version?
- Question :If you had to get started on PHP to contribute to a project built earlier versions, would learning the latest version be counterproductive towards this aim?
