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?
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.

I'm a college student and have taken several web development and web design courses. Over the last few years I have used the following:
PHPStorm
Visual Studio Code
Notepad++
SublimeText3
Atom
Amongst all of those, I don't really have a preference. I lean towards Jetbrains since as a student I get full access via student license. But those other editors/IDE's work fine too. If you were in my shoes which would you opt to use more frequently?
I'm a front-end developer, I mostly use VScode it's powerful with lots of features. You can customize it as per your needs.
It has a huge library of extensions which are really handy.
I think VScode is best for web developers. Whatsoever.

I'm looking at some things in my cPanel and noticed that my server is using PHP 5.4. Should I change it to PHP 7.1? Is it a good idea to always use the latest version? Is there a big difference in performance between 5.4 and 7x?
You need to test for incompatibilities but PHP 7.1 is much faster, so barring some other reason not to, yes, you should.
if only for security reasons you should, but for resolving common bugs too and performance

I recently went through an article which states the different combination to make an Web-Application , so I was wondering that when a developer should go for
1.php
2.asp
3.jsp/Servelets
anything on it would be appreciated
Developer should develop in which language he/she is comfortable.and client's requirement is also taken care of.
Open source web application should develop in PHP. Application meant to run in Windows server must develop in asp and in both the cases you can use java. Java is mostly use to develop desktop applications.

Particularly, for PHP development, which one performs better? I'd like to deploy a Zend Framework 1.X app on the chosen platform. Which one makes this easier/possible?
One thing I particularly love about Pagodabox is how they "force" you to use git (or some other version control system). I know you probably wouldn't use either GAE of PB for trivial projects, so you're probably already using some version control system. But I still think that's a nice touch of them. Plus it makes deploying that much easier.

For example they are used many times in this file: https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter/blob/develop/system/database/drivers/mysql/mysql_driver.php
That's because that's the file for the MYSQL driver. They also offer a separate MySQLi driver.
Not everyone is going to be switching to PHP 5.5 for a while and there are plenty of legacy applications around. CodeIgniter is intended to remain compatible with older versions of PHP. If you want a more modern framework then there are plenty to choose from - Laravel is a good choice.
