PHP 7.x compatibility concerns

    My client is using an up-to-date WordPress version but only PHP 5.6. I’m talking with the web host about upgrading the web space to PHP 7 and wanted to make sure your plugin is compatible. However, I’m seeing one error and warnings for hundreds of lines of code, when I scanned it (using PHP Compatibility Checker plugin) for compatibility with PHP 7.2. This is the optimal version to upgrade to. (PHP 7.0 will stop being supported in about a month, and even 7.1 goes on security updates only at that time.)

    The warnings almost all are prefaced by: “Possible use of ASP style opening tags detected. ASP style opening tags have been removed in PHP 7.0.” The one error is related, reading: “ERROR | INI directive ‘asp_tags’ is removed since PHP 7.0.” I’ll be happy to send you the whole list of warnings, which specify which files and lines the warnings refer to, if that will help.

    Can you please comment about this and say what your plans are for bringing the compatibility up to speed with PHP 7.2 and when this will happen?

    Many thanks.

    NIKOLA:
    Can you please comment about this issue? My client’s site needs to upgrade to PHP 7 ASAP, since even PHP 7.1 will receive only security updates a month from now. I’m very concerned that your plugin might not work properly because of the compatibility warnings I got when I ran a scan test. Please reply about this. Thanks.

    TO ANYONE ELSE READING THIS:
    Is anyone else running this plugin using PHP 7? Have you found any problems? Which version of PHP 7.x are you using? Thanks in advance.

    Hi, it’s working fine on PHP7. It’s simple false alarm there because Underscore.js templates have that syntax as ASP tags. Examples and demos on https://easyappointments.net runs on PHP7 ??

    Best regards,
    Nikola
