    GoDaddy.com recently posted PHP 7 availability so I downloaded PHP Compatibility Checker plugin to check my 4 sites. One site has Comet Cache Pro installed and it’s reporting 60 Errors and 1 warning. The biggest PHP code offender is shown below:
    FOUND 2 ERRORS AFFECTING 2 LINES
    ———————————————————————————————————————–
    24 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and prohibited since PHP 5.4
    65 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and prohibited since PHP 5.4
    ———————————————————————————————————————–
    What are your plans on getting up to speed on PHP 7 for Comet Cache Pro? I would like to upgrade our hosted sites to PHP 7 by June, 2018.
    Thanks.

    That report is a false-positive. Comet Cache and Comet Cache Pro are fully compatible with PHP 7 and they’re being used on many production sites running PHP 7 (including our own sites).

    The PHP Compatibility Checker is reporting false info. Comet Cache Lite was whitelisted by the plugin, but Comet Cache Pro, which runs on the same codebase as the Lite version, was not whitelisted because it’s a commercial plugin.

    Thanks for the quick response. In the report link provided, the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin author posted this comment:

    No problem! I’ve whitelisted both plugins and I’m working on releasing v1.3.1 as we speak.

    I am on version 1.4.3 of PHP Compatibility Checker and the error still appears so I should just ignore those errors?

    UPDATE: I just re-ran the plugin and now it shows Compatible!

    @eclerkin Note that the comment about “both plugins” was in response to this comment where I mentioned that another one of our plugins (Comment Mail) also needed to be whitelisted—it was not referring to Comet Cache Pro.
