This update brings PHP 7.0.7 to the SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 Web &amp; Scripting Module.

PHP 7 introduces several new features and enhancements, such as:

- Scalar type declarations
- Return type declarations
- New "Null coalescing" operator (??)
- New "Spaceship" operator (&lt;=&gt;)
- Constant arrays using define()
- Anonymous classes
- Unicode codepoint escape syntax.

A detailed list of new features along with code examples is available at:

- http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.new-features.php

Users considering to migrate production systems from PHP 5.5.x to 7.0.x should
also review the following documents which describe backward incompatible changes,
deprecated features and changed functions:

- http://php.net/manual/en/migration56.php
- http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.php

The "Suhosin" extension, available for PHP 5, is not yet ported to PHP 7 and is
consequently not included in this update.

A comprehensive list of issues fixed in this PHP release is available at:
