Tread carefully Marko. I am finding even certain very experienced software developer ~ who shall remain nameless ~ and the kind of developer you would have thought would know better, is saying his software has been updated, tested and runs on PHP 7.x, But I'm finding it doesn't. In fact it even abends upon activation. Just goes to show there's nothing like a real world environment for testing/breaking software.
