PHP 7 has not yet been released, so is not fully supported at this time. However, please submit a report to the phpBB Bug Tracker.

That is already handled for upcoming 3.2 https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-13782 (https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/3589).
For 3.1, I don't think it's going to be fixed for now.

Howdy there, I am having an identical issue my information is listed below:

phpbb 3.2.x
PHP Info
PHP 7.0.3 (cli) (built: Feb 2 2016 18:23:27) ( NTS )
Zend Engine v3.0.0
Using PHP-FPM
PHP 7.0.3 (fpm-fcgi) (built: Feb 2 2016 18:23:28)
Zend Engine v3.0.0,
on Nginx
nginx version: nginx/1.8.1
Arch Linux
kernel 4.4.1-2.

My real question however; is if there is a known work-around? I am fairly new when it comes to PHP, but if I just nuked this file would that solve my issue? It's just a local test instance so I don't need champion reliability or security, but would doing that cause the app to break even more and demons to spew forth out of my machine?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Are you sure?
That's only a development version. It hasn't been released yet. Any queries about 3.2.x should be posted on the area51 development board.
http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/index.php

If you mean 3.1.x, that's not compatible with php7.

That's right. PHP7 is not supported by phpBB 3.1. If you pick any PHP version higher than 5.3.3 but lower than 7.0, you should be fine. :)

phpBB 3.2 which is currently in development will support PHP7.

Now that PHP 7.0 is live and 5.6's support lifecycle will end as of the end of the year, are there any plans to fix this problem in the 3.1 branch? Thanks.

No, there aren't. Significant changes would have to be made to the BBCode parser. This is why we've addressed those things in the 3.2 branche and keep our current 3.1 branche stable.

We do still expect 3.2 to be released before the end of the year, so this shouldn't be a problem. :)

Active support will end at the end of this year, true, whereas security support will be provided until the end of 2018.
See here.

So no need to rush or panic now ;)

Thanks for the information both regarding 3.2 and security support for 5.6. Based on performance testing for other aspects of our sites, there is definitely an advantage of moving to 7.0 but as long as our forums (phpbb) don't support it we will be in a holding pattern. The forums are the core of our business.
