The documentation available online doesn't seem to say that one is "better" or "more secure" or "faster" than any other. Here, due to problems getting 7.1 under PHP-FPM to run a year ago, I backed off to 5.6 and I'm wondering whether the pain of trying to "upgrade" again is worth it. So, can some knowledgeable person give a succinct definition of why one would run a specific version? It boggles the mind that there would be that many versions maintained if there isn't some significant difference between them. John
