PHP7 Compatibilty for EE 2.11 (Low Search 4.4.3)

dpdexter 24 Mar 2016 03:32 question, complete

Hey Low... Any chance that Low Search for EE 2.11 will be PHP7 compatible?

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Declaration of Low_search_word_model::delete($word, $lang) should be compatible with Low_search_model::delete($id, $attr = false)
Filename: models/low_search_word_model.php
Line Number: 0

   Actually, this was a pretty straight forward fix. I simply updated the method signatures to match the parent class method. It could be simplified by using the parameters directly in the where clauses, but sense they had meaning I did a little name variable reassignment.
   
   low_search_word_model.php:362
   
   public function delete($id, $attr = FALSE)
   {
   $word = $id;
   $lang = $attr;
   ee()->db->where('site_id', $this->site_id)
   ->where('language', $lang)
   ->where('word', $word)
   ->delete($this->table());
   }

   I'll look at making it official. :)

   I've just noticed this issue in Low Search 4.4.4 and EE 2.11.2.
   
   Is the above fix still the recommended way to work around this issue in the EE2 compatible version?

   Yeah, should work.

   Hi Low,
   
   Did some server/ee updates and here is my config now:
   
   - Low Search 4.4.2
   - PHP7
   - Expression Engine v2.11.9
   
   Same for Low Variables
   - Low Variables 2.6.1
   
   It's ok? Will both modules work with PHP7?
   
   Can't move to EE3 because a few modules are not compatible.
   
   Thanks in advance,
   Martín

   The EE3-compatible versions of Low Search and Low Variables are also compatible with PHP7, so moving forward shouldn't be an issue for Low add-ons.
