Assignee: (unassigned) => Nish Aravamudan (nacc)
** Changed in: zabbix (Ubuntu Xenial)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * The zabbix web frontend has one incompatibility and some missing
+ dependencies with PHP7.0.
+
+ * End-users are unable to use the web-frontend due to these issues.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Install zabbix-frontend-php. Without the fix, the frontend will not
+ load properly. With the fix, it will.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * The code change is identical to the upstream change; given that the
+ frontend won't load with the code as-is, I believe there is no
+ regression potential there.
+
+ * The dependency changes allow for the web frontend to work properly
+ without extra packages needing to be manually installed by end-users.
+ Again, no chance for regression.

always_populate_raw_post_data was deprecated in PHP 5.3 at which time
zabbix frontend setup began to insist that it be set to
always_populate_raw_post_data = -1 in the PHP.ini
In PHP 7.0, which Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ships with,
always_populate_raw_post_data has been removed completely. Due to this
PHP frontend setup gets stuck on always_populate_raw_post_data not being
disabled.
The solution is to apply the following patch to the PHP frontend code to
ignore PHP 7.0:
