Missing installation instructions for systems with PHP7 #359

Closed nolaviz closed 7 years ago

nolaviz commented 7 years ago

The install instructions currently only refer to PHP5, which isn't available anymore in several distributions (Ubuntu starting with 16.04, Debian Stretch, etc.).

I can confirm the COPS works perfectly fine with PHP7 or PHP7.1 (the unit test are tested by travis : https://travis-ci.org/seblucas/cops).

Can you specify which install instruction are wrong ?

nolaviz commented 7 years ago

On the main page, the prerequisites section says

On any Debian based Linux you can use : aptitude install php5-gd php5-sqlite php5-json php5-intl

This won't work when the distro only has php7. (The differences aren't significant, I agree)
