PHP 7.0 compatible

Just to expand upon this, I also used the PHP Compatibility Plugin and I am getting the following errors:

did you guys start using this plugin on PHP7 ?

@ahappy1

I think the other posters, like myself, are considering a potential PHP upgrade/migration from 5.6 to 7 and seeing these errors come up is making us all give pause. I’ve got little option however as WPEngine is going to be moving a client’s site to a PHP7 powered Google service in a couple of weeks and this plugin is the only one throwing a major error.

Do we have a timeline on re-write/update? Basically there’s a class named ‘resource’ that PHP7 won’t allow because it’s reserved. The class is listed 9 times in the plugin and it’s name and all references to it would need to be changed.

Also looking for some compatibility on PHP7

So is this just not going to be commented on at all? 4 months in and not so much as a mention from the development team?

Ok… …so I was searching for a potential alternative for this plugin, but instead found this plugin on GitHub. Thought that maybe I could fork it, find the lines throwing errors, change them up and then maybe the devs would commit the ‘fixes’ to an update.

What I discovered actually appears to be a lot simpler.

1) All of the errors above listing the use of ‘resource’ as a keyword reserved by PHP7, turns out it’s not being used by the code itself, instead, it’s a directory in a file path that points to vendor resources on AWS. So I believe this is a false positive by WP Engine’s compatibility checker.

2) The final error regarding the ‘footer.php’ file and
"No PHP code was found in this file and short open tags are not allowed"
…there is no PHP code and short open tags aren’t being used – it’s simply a footer file with a closing div tag, i.e.:
</div>

I think it’s safe to say that this plugin isn’t throwing any actual compatibility errors. I’ve been wrong before and if it is, please, someone correct me, but from what I can see, there was no ill effect on our PHP7 test site when utilizing it and I can’t find anything in the GitHub repository for the plugin that would indicate it is using ‘resource’ in a manner that would result in a conflict.

Thank you.
