Was just surfing and came across this http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/242-PHP-7-Features-and-Release-Date.html
Heck. :P
We should make it the minimum PHP version for 1.1. :o
LOL ... I hope 1.1 is sooner than 2023 :P

Interesting reading for sure.
Sidenote ... has anyone played with Zephir?
Nope...
Looks like a sort of compiler for php-like code? I read it quickly, not sure though I understood it correctly... :-[
It allows you to write in OO php (mostly, there are some differences for sure), Zephir will translate this into C code so you can compile it in to an php extension like bla.so With that done you can add in your php.ini and use in your application.
Like say we redo parse_bbc, we could have it complied in to a parsebbc.so and for sites, that have control over their installs, they could use a complied extension for that function.
Thats just a crazy example, its really just a cool way to be able to write php extensions without having to know C to do so.
Umm
@Spuds ... its more like a code written in PHP, pre compiled in C?
Interesting! :D
Never had the opportunity tu put my hands on something that allowed me to install my own php extensions, though it can be interesting.
nods/me wonders how would ElkArte look like as php extension. LOL
Well if its possible, it'd be great, as everything will be acting as a plug and play system.
Sorry for necroposting, cannot find any recent topic discussing Elkarte on PHP 7. And this topic is the number 1 on Google. :D
I just want to let you know that I just upgraded from PHP 5.6 to 7.0 and no problem found yet
PHP 7.0.23-1~dotdeb+8.1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.23-1~dotdeb+8.1, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies
I have no problem with php7.0 too but I do have minor login problem with php7.1. Something to do with session and may be with Multi Tenancy Addon, I think. Otherwise, they are both great version to use with ElkArte.
Same 7.1 issue here as well. 7 works great!
Running 7.1 and not noticed any login issues.
@badmonkey what login issues are you seeing with php 7.1 and 1.1 ?
It's been a while since trying 7.1. It was on another server actually. Haven't installed 7.1 on the newest. If memory serves it was session errors when in ACP, postinf, profile changes and the like. it's possible you guys fixed it since too.
Today I changed the version php from 5.6 to 7.1. In the new year with a new version php!
Nice to hear that. EA is now working with php7.2 as well
@inter. Some claims that it is more faster especially with its opcache.
There seems to be some problem with 7.1+ and paid subscriptions to be honest. O:-)
php 7.2 I do not yet on my hosting
