What happened to PHP 6

-


One of the key features planned for PHP 6 was support for unicode, meaning that PHP 6 would be able to work natively with any language. This would be a great popular programming tool. Unfortunately, implementing Unicode support went from being complicated to quite difficult, and the developers behind the language tabled development of PHP 6. Not all was lost, however; some of the features planned for PHP 6, such as support for namespaces (an object-oriented programming concept), were added to PHP 5.3.

When it was time to release the next major version of PHP, it was decided to name it PHP 7 to avoid confusion with the PHP 6 version that was started but never completed.

Or have you ever become

Don't waste your child's precious time on coding when they can learn it later. Trust me, they'll thank you for it. Coding is like solving a puzzle. You use a specific set of instructions, called code, to tell a computer what to do. And the coolest part is, you can use code to create almost anything you can imagine!
