update setup to PHP 7 or newer #104

Closed rnwgnr closed 4 years ago

rnwgnr commented 4 years ago

PHP 5.5 is utterly outdated. I've modified setup.php to check for PHP 7.0 or newer. The obsolete language strings have been removed from the files.

5.5 support is definitely not needed, but we could safely stay with 5.6 as minimum. No need to raise requirements unless we really need new features of version 7.

This may be true from a feature perspective, but PHP 5.5 (end even 7.0) are officially end of life and are not patched anymore: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

So from a security perspective, we should even force 7.1 and newer.

Hosting providers are starting to rip out PHP v5.x entirely. Pretty soon, it'll be v7.x or nothing.
