pecl-compat include files (https://github.com/flaupretre/pecl-compat) may help, but porting an extension from PHP 5 to 7 remains a complex operation, and there's not so much information available. Unfortunately, compiling without error is generally not enough. Anyway, it does greatly depend on your extension. Some 'pure-bridge' extensions are relatively easy to port. Can you please indicate which extension you are considering ? Regards François -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
