[proposal] PHP - drop php 7.0+7.1 support for protobuf

[Brett McBride]

Hello maintainers,

I've got a PR in progress [1] for google/protobuf which removes deprecation warnings that appear in PHP 8.1. These deprecations will become fatal errors in PHP 9.0, when that eventually comes out.

In order to make the php library + extension work with 8.1, I've made some changes that break BC with 7.0 (library) and 7.1 (extension), so such a change would need to be coordinated with GRPC.

Thoughts and feedback welcome!

thanks,

Brett

Hello Stanley,

thanks for reaching out. With some guidance, I've been able to maintain 7.0 and 7.1 support after all, so nothing is required now.

thanks

Brett
