It will be fixed before the release of PHP7

Since PHP7 is officially released now and out of interest - does it now work?

All the more serious issues with PHP7 have been addressed in develop branch, and I've been running tests against that. The only things not working are those related to external libraries (jpgraph and various pdf rendering libraries), although phan is still picking up a few warnings about syntax that won't break anything, but still need cleaning up.

Hi @MarkBaker - just wondered if there are any more timescales for a release containing the PHP7 work that you've done?

Hi @MarkBaker - are you able to give any update on this please?

It'd be helpful to know if the PHP7 changes have made their way into the 1.8 branch, and also whether you feel it's all there now.

I've been using 1.8.1 with PHP7 without any issues so far. I'm not using jpgraph nor any pdf rendering libraries though.

If you want more specific details about PHP7, I think it would be great to specify which features of PHPExcel you're making use of.

Just delete the break on line 581, it has worked for me.

Thanks @tomzx and @Kelvinco

In truth, the application is huge, and has a lot of usages of PHPExcel which, in truth, I'm not familiar with.

I appreciate the tweak suggested and your feedback about what you've used successfully, I was just hoping that @MarkBaker or someone could provide an update as to the developers' view of whether it's now compatible, and ideally sorted that line deletion that @Kelvinco suggested rather than me doing my own hacks.

Otherwise, I have to do loads of digging myself into an application which is big and not that pretty!

PS the application I was referring to is ours, the one that uses PHPExcel - not slating PHPExcel!

where is the phpexcell 1.8.1? @tomzx

@naturekzw - under the tagged releases - PHPExcel 1.8.1

Hi NazarenoMarzetti,

on Line 581 of file PHPExcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Calculation/Functions.php there is a " break" , simply comment.

This is solved in latest version of PHPExcel, 1.8.1.
