Is it okay to still be using PHP version 5? It does everything I need and I don't want to have to learn a load of new stuff to use version 7. Also version 7 requires Microsoft Visual C 2015 which won't install on my old computer.
What do you think?

our official stance is that they need to fix their own shitty sites by EOL but I know i'm going to be forced to fix it. fuck i hate php

There isn't that much to learn anyway. If you didn't use depracated stuff you can just switch to 7 without changing anything.

no, use php7+
PHP7 is a decent scripting language for purely request scoped web applications. PHP5 is a disgusting piece of shit
PDO is life.
