Re: php7 and pecl-pdflib fails

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi Sean and the rest of the FreeBSD list,

Today I stumbled upon this issue again. I needed to install php7 with the
pdf extension to be able to create PDF files from a form generator. Still,
I see the pecl-pdflib hasn't been updated for a long time and not
compatible with php7.

Any chance you or someone else could look into this? I think it makes no
sense to have a list of build options for php70-extensions where some are
not compatible with php7. :-) Also the ability to create PDF files through
php is for several of our sites very important. I'm not the only one I
think who needs this functionality.

Would appreciate any feedback.

Btw: Is there any way around this for me? Downgrading php is unfortunately
not an option on this server. Are people using some other solution for this?

Cheers,
Andy
