php7 builds are not that different from php5 builds, and I suspect the

Marius has had more luck understanding the nuances of changes and
massaging my previous attempts in with his fixes, but I don't think
either of us are totally comfortable with the C end of things! Things
have changed somewhat in the 40 years since I got my MSc in 'Digital
Systems' and today even PHP is black magic at times :(
I'm not seeing any bugs listed in bugs.php.net that are security risks.
Security issues are not publicly visible. If you have php account, I
could assign them to you and you could see them. Or I could arrange a
copy for you, if you intend to work on them.
Current builds of Interbase and Firebird are moving further apart and
security is one area affected. It may well be that we need to split out
the Firebird aliases and current builds of Firebird 3 have different
security layers to FB2.x and Interbase now. I would at least like to see
a copy of what we are talking about and see if I have any chance of
being able to work on them ...
You consider Firebird a niche area, and similarly the Firebird
developers consider PHP the same as the main application software is
Delphi and C/C++ so trying to get help from either end has always been a
battle. But for me it is still a much more reliable base than MySQL yet
new users have little option but to live with second grade tools.
I'm not sure just what accounts I have on PHP these days. I used to have
logins but I forget nowadays what for. I would just like to get back to
producing content rather than firefighting changes every day ...
