We need help from someone who understands exactly what has been changed :(
A lot of work was done back in February, but since then no further input
has been provided, and questions asked back then still remain
unanswered. We were I think waiting for the later PHP7 changes to be
implemented but since the extension continued to compile and work ...

For me the extension is working quite happily, but the latest
corrections posted by laruence are NOT compiling on my copy here so I
will go back to the working copy and check things out from there. I
think I am seeing the same warnings as #70071 on my working compile but
my warnings are 'comparison between pointer and integer' relating to
handles to the database links, and I am then getting lost.
