We support PHP >= 8.0
We maintain and test our SDK using Travis.CI and Ubuntu. Windows/MacOS/BSD platforms support was verified only once after SDK v4.0 release. We do not test the new releases with these platforms.
The important thing to notice is that the subscription loop in PHP SDK is synchronous. You can find that PHP support threads and event loop libraries, but all of them are not stable. Anyway, the language wasn't designed for asynchronous tasks. So the main purpose for PHP SDK is invoking the synchronous endpoint calls.
Requests library [https://github.com/rmccue/Requests] is a wrapper over raw cURL requests.
Monolog has been removed from PubNub instance and has been replaced by Psr\Log\NullLogger. Now any logger that implements Psr\Log\LoggerInterface can be used after setting it to existing PubNub instance through a setLogger(LoggerInterface $logger) method.
There are 3 type of tests:
- Unit tests
- Functional
- Integration
We use PHPUnit framework for all test types.
