title: Is PHP Azure going to get PHP 5.5 or 5.6?
body: <p>I have been running a PHP web service on Azure VMs because of an older problem with the Azure PHP Powershell scripts, which has since been fixed. However, it seems that the PHP cloud services only support up to PHP 5.4 which is useless for loads of new features and specifically, in my case, the latest Amazon SDK. I want to change back because cloud services are much better supported by MS and are slightly cheaper than VMs.</p>
  
  <p>I can't find where this PHP Azure project is actively maintained and whether there are any plans for 5.5 or 5.6 support or whether there is a way to get this to work on cloud services as opposed to VMs?</p>
