Closures that work in PHP 5.3 are reported as requiring 5.4

[jack126guy]

The following code works on PHP 5.3 (confirmation on 3v4l.org) but PHP CompatInfo 5.0.6 reports it as requiring PHP 5.4:

<?php
function call_with_world($f) {
        call_user_func($f, 'world');
}

call_with_world(function($name) {
        echo 'Hello, ' . $name;
});

I believe this is a result of the fix for #229: It seems that any variable in a closure triggers the "upgrade" to a 5.4 requirement.

It does not even have to be a parameter. The following code is also reported as requiring PHP 5.4, even though it works in 5.3 (3v4l confirmation):

<?php
$f = function() {
    $name = 'world';
    echo 'Hello, ' . $name;
};

call_user_func($f);

Hello, Thanks for this analysis. I think your're right about origin of regression (issue #229 ). I'll try to fix it tonight, just after released a new php-compatinfo-db (add support to php 7.0.19).

thanks for reporting

(add support to php 7.0.19)

You mean 7.0.20 ? (release on June 8th)

@remicollet I 've forgotten to release the php-compatinfo-db 1.21 that support PHP 7.0.19 So I'll do it right now; But I'll try to publish a new version 1.22 that will support PHP 7.0.20 (today release) this saturday morning.

php-compatinfo-db 1.22 just been released. Next one will include support of PHP 7.0.20 but also the same behavior for sqlite database. Store in same directory either for phar or standard distrib (user .bartlett folder)

[llaville]

I've just been released php-compatinfo-db 1.22.0 and forget to add new behavior (see previous comment). DB in same folder : see also https://github.com/llaville/php-compatinfo-db/issues/9

Will be for next version now.

I'm on my way to release the php-compatinfo 5.0.7 in few minutes now !
