Php 7.0 Beta August 02, 2015, 05:27:01 pm http://be2.php.net/archive/2015.php#id2015-07-24-1 Well... How many things did they change to get that far? How many things will break? Will it be difficult to upgrade in order to make everything compatible or a PITA that would require complete recoding from scratch? I'm scared

How many things did they change to get that far? They are doing a major release, it's not "that" far. If you mean the reason behind 5 => 7, it is just because only few old geeky farts know that few years ago existed a php 6 project that was aborted.Quote from: Flavio93Zena – August 02, 2015, 05:27:01 pmHow many things will break? Hopefully not as many as you may think, but indeed a few.Quote from: Flavio93Zena – August 02, 2015, 05:27:01 pmWill it be difficult to upgrade in order to make everything compatible or a PITA that would require complete recoding from scratch?Absolutely yes, the whole Matrix World will be rewritten from scratch!

Re: Php 7.0 Beta Reply #4 – August 03, 2015, 01:35:55 pm There are always bc notes for any release. Check them. People say it's the easiest php upgrade they have done but I have not tried it yet. I don't think we will have issues.

Re: Php 7.0 Beta Reply #6 – August 03, 2015, 03:39:45 pm Actually, there is something broken (at least in the tests, I have not been able (yet) to try php7 "live").I tried it a while ago and forgot about it, but now I resumed the branch and was trying to pinpoint the issue.It fails in session_start of test_login_cookie and on the first call of validateLoginPassword in the test test_password:https://travis-ci.org/emanuele45/Dialogo/builds/73946632At the moment I have no idea what the problem is...

Re: Php 7.0 Beta Reply #8 – September 01, 2015, 05:20:15 am Not bad, still scared about how many things it could break though, both here and on smf since elk still contains lots of smf code.

True, but better be ready "soonish" than late to the party.The tests are currently broken in php 7 for some session problem as far as I could tell. Have it fixed for 1.1 (final) would be cool, because anyway 1.1 should last for about a couple of years. So, by the time 2.0 is ready we will still be able to work with php 7.
