It took a while, but finally I do see feedback on PHP 7 use with
MapServer: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5252  I can
imagine this is just the start of the feedback, as all of the packages
switch to PHP 7.

It seems like the internals of the Zend engine have changed dramatically 
in PHP 7, which will cause our mapascript code to break.  This is likely 
a very important and huge issue, as so many mapscript users will be 
affected.  Has anyone started this work yet?  We can now at least 
co-ordinate this effort through that ticket.  This will take a team effort.


Thanks everyone,

-jeff

Hello Jeff,

I don't know which criteria you use to decide about php version to use with
mapscript but here are some facts:

Debian 8 (2015-04-26) uses PHP 5.6
Ubuntu 14.04 uses PHP 5.5.9
Fedora 22 (2015-05-26) uses PHP 5.6
CentOS 7 uses PHP 5.4
Ubuntugis Unstable has a built for trusty (14.04) which uses 5.5

So I think mapscript should stick with version 5.5 for now...

Cheers :)

Hi Marco,

Good advice.   For MS4W we are using the end-of-life 5.4.x, so likely it
makes sense to upgrade to 5.6.x But I was curious if there was a demand
for the fancy 7.0.0  Thanks,

-jeff

I am always "new version averse" having been burned by the latest and
greatest so many times.

That said, its probably worthwhile to try a build and see if the testing
suite passes.

[mapserver-users] PHP 7.0.0. experience

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi everyone,

I saw a brief mention that PHP-7.0.0 release was being tagged today by 
the PHP team; I am not sure if that is true or not, but it made me 
wonder if anyone out there in the MapServer community has tried PHP 7 
(any of the release candidates) and mapscript yet.  Anyone have any 
experience or thoughts?


I am of course keen to upgrade to PHP7 for the MS4W (http://ms4w.com) 
community, and am looking for advice or experience using PHP7.


Thanks everyone,

-jeff
