php7ize is a command-line utility for quickly adding PHP7 features to a PHP5 codebase.

The only officially-supported method of installation is via Composer and Packagist. Because this is not intended to be treated as a project dependency, it's recommended to be installed globally:

composer global require firehed/php7ize

If you have not already done so, add Composer's global bin directory to your PATH:

# ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin

(more details coming soon)

Use Composer's global update mechanism:

composer global update

Please see more information in CONTRIBUTING.md

All features are subject to change. Feel free to add a suggestion by adding a Github issue.

• Drastically improve the internal implementation (use/access an AST?)
• Improve/test type hint for variadic functions
• Add test coverage for interfaces, traits, and abstract classes
• Auto-rename PHP4-style constructors?
