Habari & PHP7

[galak]

Hi everyone,

i've been using habari for some time now and recently decided to upgrade to PHP7.
While most other php stuff behaved well, habari did not like the update.
A bit of debugging and digging around revealed a problem: Habari uses a class "Error" to do its own error-handling, which is called via autoload from multiple classes within habari. Unfortunately this collides with a new Error class in PHP7 (http://php.net/manual/en/class.error.php). As a result habari refuses to work.
I dont see an easy workaround for this, so if habari development is still alive maybe anyone could comment on this...

Cheers, galak

Hey there,

as you see, development is not that active, unfortunately. There is a work-in-progress next Habari in our GitHub repository that includes a major new feature - namespacing all classes. That will fix the conflict you mentioned. Unfortunately, a lot of other stuff is broken, as there are more heavy changes in the repository. You might want to check it out separately, but do not expect an easy upgrade.

It might be worth a try to pick all the namespace change commits from the work-in-progress and merge them to stable 0.9.x, but I have no idea how much work that would be.

Sorry for not having better news for you. If you are willing to experiment, feel free to ask more questions.

Hi Christian,

i am a bit surprised to be the first one taking on the upgrade, but the good news is: it is working basically - see system info attached below.
Now that I know habari is not dead I will switch to habari-dev and see what I can contribute to make this work finally.
So far i was only able to make my preexisting install work - setting up a new installation does not work yet..

Thanks so far,

galak
