Hi,

I have searched for it, but cant find anything about support for php7

Does any one know if it runs under php7??

I need to know because i have to move my sites to a server that runs php7

Thanks

I don't know of anyone having tested that. I expect it to not work at all, the evaluation changes alone (see https://www.digitalocean.com/company/bl ... for-php-7/) should make s9y and the bundled libs fail all over the place.

Hope I'm wrong. That does not look like something that is fixable without crazy maintenance work.

Hi!

As for some bundled libraries, I'm afraid that could happen, too. But there I'm optimistic to be able to update to recent versions. As for the s9y core code, I do think we shouldn't have too many issues.

Having said that - I haven't tested it yet either, but it's on my list of things to try

I haven't tested it either yet, but I fell over PHP list() changes that could hit us on some places, I think.
(I just needed a place to note that somewhere to not forget about it.)

I made a test yesterday, the JS library couldn't be loaded after switching to PHP 7:

The Serendipity JavaScript-library could not be loaded. This can happen due to PHP or Plugin errors, or even a malformed browser cache. To check the exact error please open http://www.preciseassemblies.com/index. ... _editor.js manually in your browser and check for error messages.

The details are

<script>
if(typeof errorHandlerCreateDOM == "function") {
var fragment = window.top.errorHandlerCreateDOM("Error redirect: == SERENDIPITY ERROR == <p>Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Cache_Lite has a deprecated constructor in /home/www/blog/bundled-libs/Cache/Lite.php on line 29</p>");
document.body.insertBefore(fragment, document.body.childNodes[0]);
}
</script>

Please unzip into /serendpity/bundled-libs directory, which overwrites the "Pear" /Cache dir

Cache.zip: Cache_lite update; (11.31 KiB) Downloaded 356 times

Maybe this just helps to get around the constructor error ... but may just loop into some other next error with PHP7...

Please tell us if that works well with cache lite. Pear dependencies should fit.

Are you sure it replaced the correct file? Check the file dates. This is the last current version from PEAR.

They still seem to use the old PHP4 constructors, with the method name == class name, eg

Code: Select all

    function Cache_Lite($options = array(NULL))

which - I think - should now be

Code: Select all

   public function __construct($options = array(NULL))

I can't test this yet. Analog in the other Cache_lite files... Give it a try.

The version 1.7.16 is from 2014 and seems outdated. I changed only one line in the lite.php file and the error seems to be gone.

function Cache_Lite($options = array(NULL))

to

function __construct($options = array(NULL))

When the backend works well, all is loaded correctly?
Are there other ways to test it?

I assume so, yes.
We have some plugins making use of it I think: imagesidebar and linklist sidebar, [...] .
