PHP7 support

[ffflabs]

I'm using this component in production and it's working fine as of PHP 5.6.

I can make it work under PHP7 with little or no effort, but I'd appreciate if other people were involved in the project vía pull requests.

In particular, this project has a lot of examples that I haven't yet recycled to make proper unit tests, and without them I cannot resort to CI yet.

Awesome. Can you point me where I could help out?

[felixfbecker]

And I take from your answer that it currently does not support PHP7?

[ffflabs]

I'm just not sure, I haven't used it in PHP7. And the codebase is just too broad and coupled to predict such outcome.

If you want to help, install PHP7, clone this repo, run it locally with the built in server, and go through the examples.

I just saw the note about not all examples working. I will try to get as many of them as I can working on PHP 5.6 and then see if I can make them work on PHP 7. There seems to be a PHP version check somewhere in the code as when I first tried with PHP 7 it said "Unsupported PHP version". Imo this should be completely removed because it can be ensured with composer require field.
