Use WPUpdatePHP to check for PHP Version

[obstschale]

Add PHP Check wpupdatephp/wp-update-php.

I like to use WPupdatePHP in my plugins, because I thinks it is good practice to inform the user if their PHP version does not fit my requirements.

Especially useful, when PHP 7 is used in a Plugin.

I'm not sure if this is spam, but I dig the idea. I will do it as time is available.

I added it, but it's kind of odd. It makes me want to fork it... (If anyone is reading this, please fork it because I don't have the time)

• Terrible: does_it_meet_required_php_version() ... You're asking a question in your function name yet echo content rather than only returning a result?
• I want PSR-4

Hmm.. This can be accomplished with phpversion() and version_compare(). I think that I'm going to remove it.

Sure you can use phpversion() and version_compare(), but I like the simplicity of WPupdatePHP because it will not only check for the required version but also will display an admin notice if the requirement does not meet.

In the end, I don't want to argue about any lib but that idea of informing the user to make it more user friendly :)

My current plugin does check and displays a notice, however, I will give WPupdatePHP another look. Thank you.
