When I update PHP to 7.4. Slim reports an error.

Sounds like there is some work to do to upgrade to a newer version of slim that works with PHP7.4. For now you'll have to use PHP 7.3 or lower.

[zl939144892]

Correct, I've already degraded PHP to 7.3. (7.4 discards too many functions)

you can mitigate the problem by removing deprecation from error reporting.

thx

@glensc what's the current blockers for upgrading Slim? Looking at the PRs from what I can see it's a test failure but I'm not super familiar with xhgui internals

[glensc]

@tomjn you can follow porting in this pr: #333

or maybe even try it, and report what you see broken

Having to use an older version of php in our environments just to have xhgui running properly, is a huge problem for us.

When should we expect an update?

[glensc]

if it's huge problem, why don't you do something about it, rather than complaining? it's not helping anyone, only showing your attitude that somebody must do something for you just like that?

however, you have several options:

1. Use docker.
2. Compile needed version yourself, for example with https://php-build.github.io/
3. Disable deprecation logging: When I update PHP to 7.4. Slim reports an error. #278 (comment)

you can contribute back and test the development branch and report what's missing/broken.

I will not promise anything, I'm doing all of this in my free time.

@glensc first of all, I cannot speak in the name of everyone here but as far as I'm concern let me clarify I'm totally respecting both the work you are putting into this project as well as your free time. I'm sorry if I offended you but this was certainly not my intention.

We have our ways to bypass this limitation, but this doesn't stop it from being a huge problem.

The only reason I asked here was to show you that there are people out there needing this upgrade to PHP 7.4 and we will be happy to see it sometime in the future. I'm seeing an active effort for landing so I thought there might be a plan.

Again, I know how important free time is, and putting into a project that makes other people's work lives easier, makes it even more important.

Thank you.
