Removing support for PHP 7 in the Google Ads API client library for PHP

In July 2023, the Google Ads API client library for PHP will start requiring PHP version 8.0 or higher. The version of the client library that adds support for the Google Ads API v14 will be the last version that supports PHP 7. We’ll still fix security issues for this client library version until the Google Ads API v14 is sunset, but no new features will be added.

All PHP 7 versions reached their end of life in 2022. The PHP development team no longer provides security fixes for these versions, so we highly recommend migrating to newer versions as soon as possible.

Here are useful resources to help with the PHP migration:

• The PHP support version calendar
• How to migrate from PHP 7.4.x to PHP 8.0.x

If you have any questions regarding this change, feel free to comment directly on the GitHub issue.
