Civi 5.x and PHP7

[ddoligalski]

Realizing that this extension is 4.7 compliant, I assume that it is 5.0 compliant as well. I suggest you update appropriately.

At the same time, has this extension been tested using PHP 7 (7.1 in particular)???

Thanks!

In case it's helpful: I recently tested this extension (v 2.0.1) on a buildkit install with CiviCRM 5.1.2 and PHP 7.0.30 and it seemed to mostly work great with my test cases.

I say mostly because I had an issue installing the extension where it would not create the table civicrm_value_mailchimp_settings for some reason and i'm not sure why because the install xml looks fine to me. Clicking through the installer seemed to work but I couldn't sync without that table of course.

A quick

create table civicrm_value_mailchimp_settings (
id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
entity_id INT,
mc_list_id varchar(255),
mc_grouping_id varchar(255),
mc_group_id varchar(255),
is_mc_update_grouping BOOLEAN DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

seemed to solve the DB errors I was getting and it all seems to work fine. I'm assuming if there hasn't been a lot of hoopla that the missing table is some sort of weird issue with my development env.

Has anyone else tested this extension on the current versions of CiviCRM and PHP 7?

Just to chime in again - I just had another experience on a flavor of PHP 7.1 and CiviCRM 5.3.1 on an amazon server. Everything in their php.ini looks default (should default to '&') - but the http_build_query($data) in /CRM/Mailchimp/Api3.php was generating incorrect cURL calls by using '& amp;' as the separator instead of &. Needed to modify it to be http_build_query($data, "", "&") L302.

Everything else is working as far as I can tell.

Thank you. Mailchimp is also introducing "tags". Wonder if this extension could make use of that?

Just wanted to ask if this is still a thing. I will try it out on an test environment anyway but offical support for 5.x would be much appreciated.
