    Thanks for the report. Connections is 100% compatible with PHP 7. It is developed and tested on version 7.0.12. Static analysis is not everything… 🙂

    …/plugins/connections/vendor/php_class_upload/class.upload.php
    No longer used, included only to maintain backwards compatibility for commercial add-ons which still use it because users have not upgraded the add-ons. This library is only updated if needed for security issues.

    …/plugins/connections/includes/system-info/inc.system-info.php
    This is only diagnostic info for troubleshooting users still on old version of PHP. Will not affect users on newer versions:

    …/plugins/connections/includes/class.metabox-api.php
    …/plugins/connections/includes/class.sanitize.php
    False positive, “string” is allowed as a function name in PHP 7, it is only disallowed as a class name.

    …/plugins/connections/includes/class.utility.php
    Deprecated function which is no longer used. Included for backward compatibility only.

    If you do find any issues while running on PHP7 with Connections, let me know and I’ll resolve it right away!

    Again, thanks for taking the time to let me know.

    re: is in the plugin “PHP Compatibility Checker plugin” a bug?

    Sorry, but I do not understand. Can you give more detail or explain further?

    As I mentioned Connections is 100% PHP 7 compatible. If you run into any actual issues with running Connections with PHP 7 let me know and I’ll address. As I mentioned, all development is on PHP 7.0.12 and there are no issues that I am aware of. The notices generated by the other “PHP Compatibility Checker plugin are explained in my previous reply and are not issues.
