Decision about minimal supported PHP version

[Greg0]

I would like to clarify what the minimal PHP version supported by this project would you like to be.

This data could be useful in decision process https://www.php.net/supported-versions

@Greg0: I went for 8.0 here in composer.json: https://github.com/featurevisor/featurevisor-php/blob/main/composer.json#L42

don't have any strict requirements from my side personally tbh, as my intention of creating PHP SDK for Featurevisor was to help attract PHP developers so they can learn and benefit from Featurevisor.

based on your shared link, I believe 8.4 makes sense to be more future proof, while 8.3 may be a good balance to strike for some older apps if they choose to use Featurevisor.

in my experience, I have noticed that adopting feature management tools in legacy apps help a lot to incrementally migrate to newer apps. if we wish Featurevisor to be used in more legacy apps in future, supporting older PHP versions is something that would widen the reach of potential usage for Featurevisor.

you are a much better PHP developer than me and more in touch with the community, so I will listen to your judgement here.

I saw that but it is in require-dev section not require.

• require - library requirements
• require-dev development requirements e.g. tests

That makes a lot of sense and I have similar thoughts. I think it's good to start support at last 7.x (7.4) version.

I am game.

if you are open to sending PRs for that, would highly appreciate! 🙌
