Problems with PHP 7

    Firstly, thank you for providing this plugin free of charge.

    Unfortunately it seems to break with PHP7.

    FILE: /wp-content/plugins/email-before-download/download.php
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 253 | ERROR | preg_replace() - /e modifier is deprecated since PHP 5.5 and removed since PHP 7.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The line in question from download.php is:

    $match[1] = preg_replace('/(?<=^|[\x09\x20\x2D])./e', 'strtoupper("\0")', strtolower(trim($match[1])));

    Please could the plugin be updated ASAP for PHP7 compatibility by the author?

    Failing that, if anyone else knows how to correct this for PHP7 with a simple patch, I’d love to hear about it!

    Thanks,

    Luke

    Thank you for the info @lukescammell. And, of course, thank you @foliovision for your support. We do indeed just provide the plugin for free since we originally thought it would be helpful to the community that has provided us WordPress for free. Thankfully, it does seem it has been helpful to many people. I hope you will consider updating your review when we update the plugin for PHP7 support, which we will plan to do as soon as we have some spare time to do so (within the coming days hopefully).

    Hi All,

    Thank you again for your help and inputs. We have made the minor changes, tested in our PHP 7 environment, and released the update to the WordPress plugins repository. I hope the new version fixes any issues.
