** At the time of writing (October 2016) IвЂ™m running XAMPP Control Panel 3.2.2, my version of XAMPP is almost a year out of date. Note: XAMPP appears** not to have a multiple PHP version, so limited for development in multiple environments. In hindsight (after manually adding PHP 7.0.11) thereвЂ™s a REALLY easy way to add extra versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL via WAMPserver 3 addons, you can find all the WAMPserver 3 addons at WAMPserver has the ability to run multiple versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP, but until now IвЂ™d not tried (hard) to get it to work. Time to find a better solution for testing. It was really annoying, so I had a tendency to develop only in WAMPserver and test in XAMPP near the end, and the live server at the very end.Д¬an mean if something messes up in an earlier/later version of PHP I might have made a few days worth of edits before realizing! To test a theme/plugin required switching between the two localhost Windows servers (canвЂ™t run them at the same time due to the port :80 conflict) including copying whatever PHP files had been modified. SKYPE runs under port :80 as well just to make things interesting :-). Problem was WAMPserver and XAMPP both run under Port :80.

IвЂ™ve fixed these PHP 7.0.* notices in Stallion Responsive 8.5, but it required switching between WAMPserver 2.5 (running PHP 5) and XAMPP (running PHP 7) to check the code changes worked in PHP 5.* and PHP 7.* (a pain to manage!). ItвЂ™s still valid code in PHP 7.0.*, but you get a PHP notice : basically warning you to fix it before they depreciate it. Perfectly valid PHP code in PHP 5.*, but PHP plans to depreciate the code in the future. I need multiple server configurations (different PHP versions in particular) for making sure any WordPress theme development ( Stallion Responsive) and WordPress plugin development ( Stallion SEO Plugin and WordPress SEO Comments Plugin) works under most server environments: canвЂ™t test everything.ДЇor example in PHP 7.0.*, Stallion Responsive 8.4 has some PHP notices about using functions and classes with the same name. So I had three versions of PHP, but had to run three вЂsystemsвЂ™ to access them! Why Use WAMPserver and/or XAMPP With Multiple PHP Versions? WAMPserver 2.5 had Apache 2.4.* and PHP 5.5.* and XAMPP had Apache 2.4.* and PHP 7.0.* : also have a live server running Apache 2.2.* and PHP 5.3.*, the live server is well overdue an update.
