PHP function php_uname blocked for security reasons

[WillBrubaker]

• SDK/Library version: 1.14.0
• Environment: Both production and sandbox

Issue description

The SDK uses php_uname here https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/blob/1.14.0/lib/PayPal/Common/PayPalUserAgent.php#L27-L28 which is blocked on some servers.

I would like to ask that you consider alternatives to php_uname to prevent failures. Thanks.

@sucithrashanu I don't know, I got this in a support ticket for a product that uses this library - the site experiencing the troubles is andyfronius.com
