PHP 7.1 end of life

[ybelenko]

PHP 7.1 reached end of life at 1 Dec 2019

End of life - A release that is no longer supported. Users of this release should upgrade as soon as possible, as they may be exposed to unpatched security vulnerabilities.

PHP: Supported Versions:

• 7.2 until 30 Nov 2020
• 7.3 until 6 Dec 2021
• 7.4 until 28 Nov 2022

It seems that we need to change minimum PHP version to 7.2 in all php generators.

Current Requirements:

Generator	PHP version
php client	>= 7.2
Laravel server	>= 7.2.5
Lumen server	>= 7.2.5
Slim4 server	>= 7.2
Symfony server	>= 7.1.3
Ze-ph server	>= 7.2

@Articus I've seen your good work at #1902

Can you help with upgrade php-ze-ph server?
I would do it myself, but there are no unit tests in php-ze-ph generator.
We need to set PHP version to ^7.2 in composer.json:

openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/php-ze-ph/composer.json.mustache

Line 8 in a4e42e1

"php": "^7.1",

and also here

openapi-generator/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/php-ze-ph/README.md.mustache

Line 8 in a4e42e1

- PHP: >=7.1

Packagist says that zendframework/zend-expressive package and few others are abandoned. We need to replace them with suggested packages.

[Articus]

Sure, but it would be better to move zendframework/zend-expressive replacement to another issue.

It is really simple to bump minimal PHP version to 7.2 - I am like 99%-sure that everything is still working, but it will be dutiful to run tests against current minor version of PHP 7.2. Can do that before next weekend.

Replacement of zendframework/zend-expressive is way more complex problem. All packages in zendframework namespace were renamed - https://getlaminas.org/blog/2020-03-09-transferring-zf-to-laminas.html (for example, Zend Expressive is now Laminas Mezzio). So it will require:

• php-ze-ph template update (composer.json and namespaces in PHP code)
• php-ze-ph generator rename
• support from PathHandler and DataTransfer which is slightly postponed (mostly because of Final Fantasy VII Remake :[ ) and I do not have ETA for that right now

[Articus]

Checked generated stub on 7.4.7 , 7.3.19 and 7.2.31 - everything works fine (manual calls of generated methods and tests for PathHandler and DataTransfer versions used in stub).

So it is safe to bump minimal PHP version to 7.2. Though technically requirement "php": "^7.1" is still correct - stub works fine on 7.1.33 too :)
