Php 5 compatibility

[Gonzalo1987]

Hello,
I haven't seen other library for send the new APNs Apple push notifications in PHP, but my server have installed PHP 5.3+, and I would like to know what part of the code fails for the compatibility of PHP 5 (for try to solve, or try to found a workaround)

Thank you very much for this library!

Hi @Gonzalo1987,

I use in library only some PHP 7 features such as "return type declarations" and "scalar type hints".
If your project not so big I recommend you try to switch to PHP 7 :)

(Just a drive-by comment—I'm investigating using this library because a client wants to use the new HTTP/2 JWT interface for APNS, but our application is on PHP 5.5 and we can't afford to move to PHP 7 and QA everything. :-( Would it be fairly easy to remove the type hints and return type declarations to add PHP 5 support?

I could not do that because of its dependencies

It can take more time to support library, specific CURL errors etc, and I even don't have enough time to support current version. So sorry guys but I'm not going to support PHP 5.
