You're not actually far behind: there never was an actual PHP 6. While there were plans for it, they decided to just keep incrementally upgrading 5. I guess because there was some development work done under the name of PHP 6, they decided to make this major release 7 in order to avoid confusion with it -- thus adding confusion of a different sort. ?
