PHP 7 exists now and 5.2.15 is a stable release. Installation of `horde/horde` still fails: As discussed elsewhere numerous times, we won't/can't increase the maximum supported version during a bug fix release cycle. Even doing so during a minor point release is questionable. While the current stable application code has been shown to be mostly compatible with the changes in PHP 7, they are not marked as officially supported - and won't be until at least Horde 5.3. You can still install 5.2.x, though, using the -f flag to PEAR.

can you install horde now with php 7? i can't do. Still getting messages like horde/ingo requires PHP (version >= 5.3.0, version <= 6.0.0alpha1, excluded versions: 6.0.0alpha1), installed version is 7.0.4 thanks

PHP 7.0 doesn't exist. It exists now...

That is obviously not a stable release. Of course not. So I think the docs should say that PHP 5.3 up to PHP 6.0 are supported. Or the pear installer should allow PHP 7.0, perhaps with a warning. It's just a suggestion, please do whatever you prefer.

PHP 7.0 doesn't exist. Sure it does. I got it from here, and I'm running it now: https://github.com/php/php-src

The documentation claims that Horde is compatible with PHP >= 5.3, but the installer will fail with errors on PHP 7.0, saying it requires PHP <= 6.0. Either the documentation should be corrected, or (more likely) the installer should be modified to recognize that PHP 7.0 does exist and can be used to run Horde.
