PHP 5.6
Completed
PHP 5.6.0 was officially released August 28, 2014. I'd like to see cPanel to add this as soon as possible.
I like this idea 
cPanel, WebHost Manager and WHM are registered trademarks of cPanel, L.L.C. for providing its computer software that facilitates the management and configuration of Internet web servers.

At this time, we are working on releasing PHP 5.6 in EasyApache 3. This will include updated loaders for Zend Guard as well. Stay tuned for more information!

We are currently targeting PHP 5.6 as a deliverable for our multi-PHP functionality and Apache RPM project. Please see the multi-PHP feature request to learn more.

Once they have released the multi php version system, new php versions will probably be released much faster.
I was going to defend cPanel on this one but I've just realised that 11.48 will probably only make it to current in two or three months.
If so, this does seem a bit long as we will soon be putting PHP 5.6 as the default version for new accounts on our Cloudlinux servers.
If 11.48 is almost finished ( current in less than 2 months) then I agree it's best to wait and not do the work twice.
However any more would be a long wait for hosts who like to boast always having the latest software.
Hosts that wait for the software to be almost depreciated before changing version won't worry about this so much, but for the others won't like waiting this long for the latest php version.
For us waiting 4 months for php 5.6 to make it to stable wouldn't be a big issue because before cloudlinux we always stayed one version behind except on new servers and now with Cloudlinux we disable the default PHP version which is only used for cPanel.
PHP 5.6 isn't a huge jump forward. Nice to have but nothing like going from 5.3 to 5.4.

PHP and MySQL are the core of Cpanel and should be given priority over any other useless features out there. Releasing PHP version after 9-12 months it was originally released is just absurd. They aren't required a year of testing. They started to work on it several weeks ago, which I really don't understand why.
It's really frustrating. You have enough customers that development would be phased in the right speed. Currently Cpanel doesn't really have any real priorities, and by no means it's my priorities, it's everybody's priorities. PHP and MySQL are core, for almost every dynamic website out there (which are probably most of CPanel's clients).

This is taking a significant amount of time.
When will PHP 5.6 be released to EasyApache? I don't need multi PHP, I just need PHP 5.6.

I guess we will have PHP 5.6 around the time PHP 5.7 (with huge performance improvements) will be released. I never got why cPanel takes so damn long time to update PHP. I never had big issues updating PHP versions on servers running Debian or CentOS. Why does cPanel keep us waiting on this. We need performance on PHP ASAP.

PHP Releases should get much faster once they have finished moving from source to RPM.
It would be nice to have some form of ETA for easy Apache 4 as if cPanel is Waiting for the next version of cPanel that could be in about 3 months, which does seem to push the arrval of 5.6 quite far away.

I have customers asking for PHP 5.6 support; vulnerabilities and patches for PHP are continually picking up pace, and cPanel's lack of support is making us look like we're inattentive to security concerns. When I had to tell one customer that we couldn't deploy 5.6 because cPanel didn't support it yet, he asked me when we were getting rid of cPanel.
This should be more worrying to you guys than it is to me, and I still worry about it.

As mentioned in the official response, PHP 5.6 will be part of our EasyApache 4 release. You can read more about EasyApache 4 here: http://forums.cpanel.net/f133/easyapache4-announcement-447882.html
We are currently targeting cPanel & WHM version 11.50 for the release.

Do you have an estimated target date for EA4. EA4 looks to be a quantum leap and as such I realize even hinting at a target date is sacrosanct but even a rough idea would be helpful for our own project planning. My apologies if I've managed to miss an appropriate posting elsewhere.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

We're hoping to have a developer release sometime in the next month or so to begin allowing people the opportunity to test and provide feedback.

I was thinking about the new EA4 features and it will include a system to select PHP versions peer account basis. What will happen to CloudLinux CageFS? Won't the two conflict? Which is going to have priority? I guess once CageFS is enabled this feature should be disabled on EA4..
Thank you.

Hi!
Our initial iteration of EasyApache 4 will most likely be an experimental beta system, that has to be enabled before it's used. Through the first iterations of the system, it will probably end up being either CloudLinux or cPanel Multi-PHP, not both at the same time. I imagine as the project progresses cPanel's Multi-PHP would become the default eventually.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi,
Hopefully we'll have PHP 5.6 released in the next few weeks. EasyApache 4 unfortunately will not show up until at least 11.52. We felt it wasn't quite ready for primetime in 11.50, so we've retargted for next release. Thanks for your patience!

Presumably we will now see 11.48 without EasyApache 4 beta within 4 weeks?
And punting EasyApache 4 into the long grass that is 11.52 will mean towards the back end of 2015? Or will 11.52 be brought forward?
It is a shame that we will have to wait so long to be able to access the better performing modules for PHP that are not yet supported.
This also puts EasyApache 4 beta much closer to PHP 7 (they are - somewhat optimistically I think - targeting mid-October for general release).

Why is PHP 5.6 CentOS 6+ only? I didn't see anything on this page of the EA release notes about this.
