Error when compiled with PHP 7

[TouriSpo]

Just tried to compile geoPHP with new PHP 7.0.1 version. Compiling fails with the following errors:

geos.c:159:8: error: unknown type name 'zend_object_value'
static zend_object_value
       ^
geos.c:161:5: error: unknown type name 'zend_objects_free_object_storage_t'
    zend_objects_free_object_storage_t st, zend_object_handlers* handlers)
    ^
geos.c:164:22: error: expected ';' after expression
    zend_object_value retval;
                     ^
                     ;
geos.c:164:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'zend_object_value'
    zend_object_value retval;
    ^
geos.c:164:23: error: use of undeclared identifier 'retval'
    zend_object_value retval;

Is supporting PHP7 on your roadmap? Would be great to be able to update PHP and still use all the cool features of geoPHP.

Thanks for a short heads up Martin

[mprins]

was your geos library compiled with php7 bindings?

[collmomo]

yes, https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/761

[collmomo]

The api changed. People says it takes at max 2 hour to change it to the new zend API. Unfortunately, I don't know C.

[BathoryPeter]

But it's not a GeoPhp bug, GEOS is an external library.

Sorry to hijack this but has anyone managed to compile geos with bindings for php7? Huge blocking issue for the team I'm working with at the moment as we really need to move to php7 but this is a crucial lib for us. Any info would be really appreciated.

[sascha-hendel]

Any news on that issue?

[sascha-hendel]

Found a solution: 1st: Compile and install GEOS package without PHP bindings 2nd: Compile and install newest PHP bindings seperately ( https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/geos/php-geos )

[rohan-deshpande]

Yes we actually hired Sandro to do this work and it's working nicely

[matthewmummert5]

Is this library no longer maintained? This is an issue for me as well.

Just use up to date geos bindings @matthewmummert5. I hit this issue with 3.4.2, but it works well with 3.6.1 and PHP bindings from https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/geos/php-geos.

curl -s -O http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.6.1.tar.bz2 &&\
  tar -xjvf geos-3.6.1.tar.bz2 &&\
  cd geos-3.6.1/ &&\
  ./configure --enable-php &&\
  make &&\
  make install &&\
  cd ..

ldconfig

curl -s -O https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/geos/php-geos/archive/master.tar.gz &&\
    tar -zxvf master.tar.gz &&\
    cd php-geos &&\
    ./autogen.sh &&\
    ./configure &&\
    make &&\
    make install &&\
    cd .. &&

The master.tar.gz has moved here:

https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/php-geos/archive/master.tar.gz

Updates procedure here:

curl -s -O http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.6.1.tar.bz2 &&\
  tar -xjvf geos-3.6.1.tar.bz2 &&\
  cd geos-3.6.1/ &&\
  ./configure --enable-php &&\
  make &&\
  make install &&\
  cd ..

ldconfig

curl -s -O https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/php-geos/archive/master.tar.gz &&\
    tar -zxvf master.tar.gz &&\
    cd php-geos &&\
    ./autogen.sh &&\
    ./configure &&\
    make &&\
    make install &&\
    cd .. &&

[virgolamobile]

Note: ./autogen.sh refers to phpize. You have to install php7.x-dev

Example for php 7.1:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-dev

Just tried to install geos on Centos 7.6, PHP 7.3.15

# yum install bzip2
# yum install gcc
# yum install php-devel
# wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.8.0.tar.bz2
# tar -xjvf geos-3.8.0.tar.bz2
# cd geos-3.8.0
# ./configure

on last command ( ./configure ) I'm stuck with the following errors:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

Any help greatly appreciated. Thx
