Please add PHP7.3 compatibility checker

[missjwo]

Hi,

This plugin is well loved by the community and is often recommended by many people.

Please can you update the plugin to include PHP7.3 checks.

Thanks 🙌

Hello missjwo, can you use SSH and WP CLI? Then after logging in host via SSH, try command "wp phpcompat 7.3 --scan=active"

Let me see if I can help add it on the web gui :thinking:

Related #204.

The PHPCompatibilityWP (and underlying PHPCompatibility) dependency will also need to be updated.

The plugin currently is locked at PHPCompatibility 7.1.5 (released July 2017) which contains hardly any checks for PHP 7.2 yet. The current version of PHPCompatibility is 9.1.1.

FYI: PHPCompatibility 9.2.0 is expected soon which will contain an initial set of sniffs checking for issues related to PHP 7.4 .

Note: PHPCompatibility 8.0 and higher needs PHP 5.3 to run.

@DavidHickman is there any news on when we can expect to see this update?

@dvaansiseelr Sorry for the slow response. The point isn't to do this via the command line. People who install this plugin are not nor need to be comman line savvy.

I used to recommend the plugin to people but it's become dated 😢
