 * Hey all,
 * Currently I’m running WP 4.2.6 with PHP 5.3.29.
 * I’m going to update WP to the latest stable version. I can also upgrade PHP to
   newer versions, even to PHP 7. What’s the best option to use in this case? Is
   PHP something I can use with the latest version of WP, or should I upgrade to
   PHP 5.6?
 * Thanks for the help!

 * You could also check the support forums for any issues with individual plugins
   before upgrading.
