title: Can I migrate from PHP 5.3.10 to PHP 5.6.0?
body: <p>I'm basically a <code>PHP</code> developer. I'm currently using <strong>Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS</strong> on my local machine. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using the following <code>PHP</code> version for developing my <code>PHP</code> project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>php -v //command run at terminal to know the `PHP` version installed
  
  PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.13 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jul  7 2014 18:54:55) 
  Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
  Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now a couple of days back a new latest stable release of <code>PHP</code> version (<code>PHP 5.6.0</code>) was released by the <code>PHP</code> development team.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, as I'm using a <code>PHP</code> version on my local machine which is too old, and also all <code>PHP</code> versions lower than <code>5.4</code> are officially unsupported or announced end-of-life, should I go for <code>PHP 5.6.0</code>?</p>
  
  <p>If your answer is yes, please explain me how to do it? Will the code I written in my project work properly after this migration? What changes I'll need to do?</p>
  
  <p>If your answer is no, please explain me in detail why?</p>
  
  <p>Before asking this question I've gone through <strong>Google</strong> and <code>PHP</code> documentation. There I found migration notes for following version migrations:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   **5.3.x-&gt;5.4.x
     5.4.x-&gt;5.5.x
     5.5.x-&gt;5.6.x**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Didn't get how to migrate from <code>PHP 5.3.10</code> to <code>PHP 5.6.0</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So can someone please help me in this regard?</p>
  
  <p>If you need any further information regarding my issue please do let me know.</p>
