As PHP 7 was released, should I apply for PHP 5 certification or better wait, until PHP 7 Certification will be released/announced? What plans does Zend have regarding this certification?

1. How hard is Zend PHP certification? Getting certified as a Zend PHP Engineer is nearly hard if you don't have enough practical experience. It is usually simpler to learn by doing, and you may study PHP in this manner if you want to pass the Zend Certified PHP Engineer exam.
The Zend Certified PHP Engineer is an industry-wide standard that recognizes PHP expertise and is a measure of distinction that employers use to evaluate prospective employees. Join the thousands of PHP professionals who have received official certifications and be recognized for your PHP expertise.
It all depends on why you want to be certified. If you want to learn only the new features it can be worthwhile to be wait for PHP7 certification. But if you need it for finding a job or convincing your boss that you understand PHP, you can better now get PHP5 certified.
I think it will take a few years before customers will adopt PHP7 and we will see a few years where 5 & 7 will be supported next to each other. A lot of legacy code will break because of dropped support for some modules. The mysql module is still used a lot.. for example.
