PHP 7.4 support

[remicollet]

For now, build fails

add_next_index_zval has been replaced by a macro. That doesn't seem to be mentioned in UPGRADING.INTERNALS, though.

Thanks @remicollet and @cmb69
We will investigate and get back to you.

[cmb69]

This issue might get resolved on the PHP side, see php/php-src#4250.

[yitam]

Thanks @cmb69 for the reference! We will keep an eye on this.

[remicollet]

FYI, I confirm than 5.6.1 build without error against 7.4.0-dev (so with upcoming alpha2)

[remicollet]

For memory, if someone need to build against alpha1, here is a small workaround
https://git.remirepo.net/cgit/rpms/php/php-sqlsrv.git/plain/shared.patch

[yitam]

Cool! Thanks @remicollet and @cmb69 !

Hi guys ! @remicollet, @cmb69 and @yitam
Do you guys have a 64bits windows dll for PHP 7.4?

Thanks in advance !

[cmb69]

The PHP for Windows team is planning to provide PECL DLLs for PHP 7.4 starting around beta1.

[yitam]

Thanks @cmb69 for the heads up.

Hi @celsowm if you're asking about the php drivers for SQL Server, we will test if v5.6.1 supports PHP 7.4 beta versions. If not, we tentatively plan to release a preview that will be compatible.

The PHP for Windows team is planning to provide PECL DLLs for PHP 7.4 starting around beta1.

Alas. It fails in 7.4-beta1 now:

ext\sqlsrv\shared\core_stream.cpp(201): error C2078: too many initializers
ext\sqlsrv\shared\core_stream.cpp(201): error C2440: 'initializing': cannot convert from 'size_t (__cdecl *(php_stream *,char *,size_t)' to 'SSIZE_T (__cdecl *)(php_stream *,char *,size_t)'

This was after replacing some instances of 'uint' by 'unsigned long' in the 5.6.1 release, but in git head the error is the same.

The error was introduced in 7.4-beta1. 7.4-alpha3 still compiled OK. I do not know what caused the error.
@cmb69 Is it documented in UPGRADING.INTERNALS?

@Jan-E https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/6d6d954d0d28f488f743e6c9d0cd9ab01e1c4e41/UPGRADING.INTERNALS#L229-L230

[Jan-E]

Could it be this change php/php-src@845d07b#diff-2e4b71f255095863524bb18e8e26b815 ?
Then @nikic documented it yesterday.

[Jan-E]

@nikic I had just noticed that too

[yitam]

Thanks @Jan-E and @nikic for the info. As mentioned above we tentatively plan to release a preview that supports PHP 7.4 beta or RC.

You could try the ones in the Alpha3 zips here:

Looks like somethin like this fixes the compilation error:

[yitam]

Thanks again @Jan-E

[Jan-E]

I only fixed the compilation error. Testing etc is up to you.

[yitam]

Of course, @Jan-E :-)

Yet it's unlikely we will release a preview just to fix this compilation issue. The preview will include new feature(s) as well. Thanks!

[remicollet]

see pr #1013

[yitam]

Closing this issue as 5.7.0 preview is already released.

[iluuu1994]

@yitam That's great! When is 5.7.0 scheduled to be release? This is the only thing keeping us from migrating to PHP 7.4. Thanks!

[yitam]

@iluuu1994 it depends on ODBC driver. We will likely release shortly afterwards, ETA as indicated here

[iluuu1994]

@yitam I see. Thank you for your response!
