PHP Benchmark of php 7.1, php7.2, php7.3 and even php5.6

Here I run the PHP benchmark script on my Virtualbox guest OS Ubuntu 16.04.

Every version of PHP I tested 7 times. So get rid of the highest one, and the lowest one. Get the average of the rest five scores.

php5.6.39
The average is 5.13 seconds.

I do have to say that the tests I run is not good enough. It does’t test all the php features. Actually, it is just a very small part of it.
If you count on the database, memory usage, etc., the answer will be quite different.
