Bump required PHP version #147

Open MatzeKitt opened 1 year ago

MatzeKitt commented 1 year ago

What feature are you requesting?

Currently, the required PHP version is 5.6, which is outdated. Even WordPress itself requires 7.4 at the time of writing. So we should raise that and start using its benefits, e.g. for type hinting.

Why is this feature necessary?

An up-to-date PHP version is required to have a secure WordPress installation.

Are you expecing side-effects?

Third-party implementation could break.

Appears that core is also dropping support for PHP <7.2 soon.
