I don't see a reason, why we should not easily support PHP 5.6 ... but then again, as this tool is only supposed to be used by WordCamp organizers, I don't think they really use such old and unsupported PHP versions. 🤔 I also don't know why the file |

Thanks for your time, @2ndkauboy!
I agree that most organizers will probably use a newer version of PHP. But since WP still officially supports 5.6, this was a minor change to ensure parity with WP's support. Community teams don't have a PHP requirement for their dev and prod environments, so this would help ensure they didn't run into issues if they're on an old version. Corner case, certainly.
Because the plugin includes the built source in 'dist', I re-ran the prod build script. In the process of doing so, the JS was recompiled, resulting in the updated file. If this isn't part of the contributor process for the project we can revert that change. |
This PR addresses the fatal errors identified in #58, and enables support for PHP 5.6.
Why Do This?
The Contributor Orientation Tool can be used by any community member -- not just developers, and not necessarily by someone who has much experience with WordPress. Hosting environments across the world can still vary, and because WordPress currently supports PHP 5.6, this is an easy fix to have one less barrier to contributing community members 🙌🏻.
