PHP loaders for PHP 7.1

[Nirjonadda]

Do you have any plan EasyApache 4 adding PHP loaders for PHP 7.1 encoder ionCube Loader 6, SourceGuardian Loader and Zend Guard Loader?

Hi,

We do, as soon as they support this PHP version. Currently, none of those loaders support PHP71.

There won't be a Zendguard loader for PHP 7.1 (at least that's the way I understand it). They stopped building this for PHP 7.0 and up.

sparek-3,

Nice, I hadn't seen that yet. It's good to know they've made a decision as to which way they are going. I can now remove my monthly TODO reminders for checking ZG for PHP7 support

Yea, I'm not sure how many scripts really use this, so I'm not sure what this will affect. But I remember they always dragged their feet on coming out with a new ZendGuard for new versions of PHP. Did they have to release one for each new PHP 5 release? (5.0, 5.1, 5.2, etc) or was it just for PHP 5? But the new PHP version would be released and 2 years later Zend would finally release Zendguard loaders for it.

So them officially dropping support for PHP 7+ is really just a formality.
