PHP-7 support for Gmail SMTP…?

Hi, I just tested it on a PHP 7 environment. It seems to be working fine.

I just can a PHP7 checker and got the following responses. I am looking to upgrade soon, but can’t until these changes are resolved.

/wp-content/plugins/gmail-smtp/PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php

Working just fine with my php7.1 system.

The problem with these php checkers is that they’re not really context aware.

If you look at those lines, you’ll find what the code actually says is:

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
                    set_magic_quotes_runtime(false);

In other words – I think it’ll be fine!
