By the end of this year, 2018, PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 will likely be removed from the Gentoo repo for End-of-Life. Once the first security bug appears after upstream stops supporting a version, the slot will be up for removal. There are several attempts upstream to accomplish this. [1] goes and modifies the existing extension to be up-to-date. [2] and [3] use a different SWIG approach. If PHP support is to be maintained, one of these options will have to be addressed. [1] https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5461 [2] http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-117.html [3] https://github.com/jmckenna/mapserver/tree/phpmapscript-swig
Upstream has released official support for PHP up to and including PHP 7.3. Version 7.4.0 has the necessary support. Please add this version at your convenience
Note: PHP support has been masked due to the scheduled removal of PHP 5.6
