Laravel 4 Latest PHP Compatibility

NOTE: this is to make things work in the latest version of PHP. It doesn't mean using PHP specific syntax will work with things like the queue serialization. For this you would most likely need to get the latest version of SuperClosure (https://github.com/jeremeamia/super_closure) working. We override a method to stop an error but nothing else.

Installation

composer install postedin/laravel-4-php-latest

Or change your laravel/framework to postedin/laravel-4-php-latest in your composer.json and update the version.

Update your bootstrap/start.php and replace

$framework = $app['path.base'].
                 '/vendor/laravel/framework/src';

with

$framework = $app['path.base'].
                 '/vendor/postedin/laravel-4-php-latest/src';

You still need to install php-mcrypt, using pecl. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55678023/how-to-install-mcrypt-on-php-7-3-3-ubuntu)

Changes

• Postgresql uses time zone on all timestamps in migrations, hardcoded for our use and updated tests, fork and remove those commits if you don't want to do this

PHP Compatibility

• fixed an error in SuperClosure which must be from a PHP version change (https://github.com/jeremeamia/super_closure)
• fixed broken query builder (E_NOTICE) due to a PHP 7.3 change to the compact function (https://www.php.net/compact#refsect1-function.compact-changelog)
• fixed broken tests due to a PHP 7.2 change to count function (https://www.php.net/count#refsect1-function.count-changelog)

Laravel PHP Framework

Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as authentication, routing, sessions, queueing, and caching.

Laravel is accessible, yet powerful, providing powerful tools needed for large, robust applications. A superb inversion of control container, expressive migration system, and tightly integrated unit testing support give you the tools you need to build any application with which you are tasked.
