PHP7 support

8 years 11 months ago - 8 years 10 months ago #1140 by Walt Sorensen
PHP7 support was created by Walt Sorensen
Would be nice to see PHP 7 support with PHP7 released and Joomla 3.5 being released in the coming months.

The big item I know about is
JString
must be replaced with name spaced
StringHelper
via 
use Joomla\String\StringHelper;

Other items for good code clean up include things like
JArrayHelper
has been deprecated
use Joomla\Utilities\ArrayHelper;

Reference on this change requirement from the Joomla CMS
github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/6600


There are also some specific PHP7 changes needed. most of which are BC compatible with php5
