Laravel 4.2 PHP 7

Wow, I installed the new PHP 7.0.0 today, and even laravel 4.2 works on it. Which is good for me because one of my smaller sites is using 4.2.

Note that the error handler is broken so you won't be able to see what errors you are getting.

I noticed the error handler was broken as well when I tried it a few weeks ago.

Just checking out the repo for it and there is a PHP 7 branch but it hasn't been touched in months.

I'd love to update because (in my local tests) PHP 7 dropped my Laravel boot time by a good chunk, not to mention the improvements in the language.
