php7 support

[ThomasDupont]

Hello,

The extension using by Genghis currently is not avalaible on php7

For example, the MongoClient is deprecated and replace by MongoDB\Driver

Is possible to add the compatibility in the future?

This project does not seem to be alive anymore so porting to the php7 extension might not be possible without contributions from the community.

An updated, yet unofficial version of Genghis will full php7 support is now available from this fork with the latest release available here.

This version requires one additional step when installing (See readme).

I will try to make a pull request with changes soon.

Alternatively, we built a new, more modern Web-based client for Mongo, inspired by Genghis: https://github.com/huggingface/Mongoku

It's built on Node.js (using Typescript) and Angular.

@julien-c nice work with Mongoku. I created the php7 fork mainly because I liked the simplicity of Genghis (despite the memory issues with large data-sets) and because I wanted to access it over 7.x. Since this project is clearly dead, and my fork is not properly maintained, I would also suggest using Mongoku over Genghis (regardless version).
