OrangeScrum – Project Management Tool Journey, with the Evolution of PHP

What’s the first thing that strikes your mind, when I say - “Project Management Tool and

Web Application Development”!

That is correct – How to do it and which technology should I go with?

Most of us might sketch to go with PHP and CakePHP, because of its performance and user

friendliness.

In 1995, PHP was released as a server-side scripting language for developing web

applications. It is the dynamic programming language to update HTML page with similar

syntax like Perl.

2017 - Huge evaluation has gone through in the original version of PHP in 1994 by Rasmus

Lerdorf and it’s growing enormously to acquire a significant space in the web application

development arena.

This article will be more on learning about the journey of OrangeScrum - the #1 Project

Collaboration Tool with the evolution of PHP and its various new features in its latest

versions.

Let’s have quick overview on the user statistics and market position of PHP;

Currently PHP is being widely used as a scripting language majorly for web development

embedded into HTML.

Quick Facts

Facebook - World’s most popular social media website, Twitter and Wikipedia (the free

online encyclopedia) are all developed using PHP.

Let’s have a quick look on graph to know the uses of PHP in various categories of websites.

As an open source programming language, PHP is upgrading its version (from PHP5 to

PHP7.1) and bringing wide set of enhancements, which supports the object-oriented

programming with classes, and interface.

PHP community developers are adding new features to applications for better performance

and scalability with less memory use – and the same is being implemented in Orangescrum

to make it more robust. Have a look at the uses of PHP version bellow;

Let us have a look at the areas on where PHP has improved its performance on version 7.1

PHP 7.0

Most of the improvements listed here are related to the Zend Engine:

Core data structures re-factoring

Better VM calling convention

New parameters parsing API

Yet another new memory manager

Many improvements in VM executor

Significantly reduced memory usage

Improved __call() and __callStatic() functions

Improved string concatenation

Improved character searching in strings

PHP 7.1

New SSA based optimization framework (embedded into opcache)

Global optimization of PHP bytecode based on type inference

Highly specialized VM opcode handlers

According to the above improvements as described, we may think that the possibility of PHP

7.2 or PHP 8 might be nearing in with many advance features.


In 2011, we upgraded OrangeScrum Project Management Software with PHP 5.5 and very

soon, we are going to launch the new version of OrangeScrum with PHP 7 in its DNA, which

is under development.

Now, as per the source, PHP new version is under development with the base of 7.1 by

Dmitry Stogov of Zend under the "experimental JIT" branch.

“PHP 7.1 is going to see a lot of security improvements and

I’ll only be driving a handful of them.”

With my experience and expertise - I think, the time is right to migrate your old application

to the latest one to avail the upcoming updates of PHP.
