A month ago PHP 7.1 was released. I've just installed it in my system, running '#php -version' returns me 'PHP 7.1.0' so everything is working fine. But at the time to create a new project in NetBeans, it only allows me '7.0' and the lower 5.X versions I've been looking for an option to update the new version of PHP in NetBeans but I didnt get a thing.
Other details: Debian 8 stable system. PHP7.0 and previous 5.X versions had been installed through 'apt-get', but PHP7.1 through './configure && make && make install'. NetBeans was installed via sh script (not 'apt-get').
Any ideas?
NetBeans needs to provide PHP 7.1 support by itself, it cannot leverage installed PHP versions. And unfortunately latest NetBeans 8.2 does not support PHP 7.1.
