PHP 8 support

[jkroonza]

Is there anything in the pipeline?

Yes, Joe has been updating this extension some days ago to be PHP 8 only in the next release.

Hello, i installed php 8.0.6 with ZTS and compile parallel... but:

Uncaught Error: Class "parallel\Runtime" not found in ...

@juanantoniomosquera as per @WyriHaximus PHP 8 support will only be in the next release.

PR at #190 does raise some concern for me regarding backwards compatibility, looks like the next release might be only PHP 8 support, no longer 7.X. Not ideal ... but not unmanageable.

but i tried php 7.* and compiling error: ONLY PHP 8.*, i dont understand...

question: What version of php do I install for the latest version of parallel?

[jkroonza]

1.1.4 works on PHP 7.X, if you want PHP 8 you need master. What I don't know is if master will work on 7.X, or if there is some fundamental change/difference between the two that prevents a common codebase.

I have installed develop, it has been installed well, shouldn't it work with php 8?

[jkroonza]

Perhaps you're missing development headers from PHP 8 or something, or it's including also-installed PHP 7 headers. I don't know.

Any chance of getting an update on this? We've got some code that's reliant on this and we're starting to phase out PHP7 otherwise ...

It's coming #250
