Are you aware PHP 7.0 security support ended 2019-01-10 (that's nearly 6<br>
years ago)?<br>
<br>
Even PHP 7.4 is more than 2 years out of security support:<br>

Xapian 1.2.x is really old and we no longer support it, sorry.<br>
<br>
Xapian 1.4.x supported PHP7 up to 1.4.21 (1.4.22 dropped PHP7 support<br>
and added PHP8 support).<br>
<br>
So use Xapian 1.4.21 if you really need PHP7 support, but at this point<br>
my advice would be to move to PHP8 instead. As well as having security<br>
support still (at least if you go for 8.1 or later), the bindings are<br>
lower overhead due to being entirely implemented using PHP's C API now.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Olly<br>
