What version of PHP is required?

[chris-lambert-shiels]

README.md states "Requirements: PHP 5.5.9 or higher"

composer.json starts with:
{
"name": "symfony/symfony-demo",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"description": "Symfony Demo Application",
"require": {
"php": "^7.1.3",

So which is it - PHP 7 or 5.5? Or am I confused?

@ChrisLambertUK the "master" branch requires PHP 7.1 ... but the latest stable release still requires PHP 5.5. We have a pending PR (#625) to update this when we release the new stable version based on Flex, which will be soon.

In summary:

• If you install this like: symfony demo my_project -> you need 5.5.9
• If you clone this repo and use the master branch -> you need 7.1.
