Will it works properly on php7?

try it out

Not quite. Just updated here in development environment, I'm having trouble to catch errors. Its says: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to October\Rain\Foundation\Exception\Handler::report() must be an instance of Exception, instance of Error given

This is because Laravel 5.0 does not expect something different of a Exception that just passes it to the ExceptionHandler: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.0/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/HandleExceptions.php#L73

But Laravel 5.1 does "convert" (decorate) non-Exceptions to FatalThrowableError that extends FatalErrorException that extends ErrorException that at least extends a Exception https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.1/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/HandleExceptions.php#L75

But October does not support Laravel 5.1 yet

Here follows the workaround, so you can get this running:

// your/Plugin.php
public function register()
    {
        set_exception_handler([$this, 'handleException']);
    }

    public function handleException($e)
    {
        if (! $e instanceof Exception) {
            $e = new \Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError($e);
        }

        $handler = $this->app->make('Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler');
        $handler->report($e);

        if ($this->app->runningInConsole()) {
            $handler->renderForConsole(new ConsoleOutput, $e);
        } else {
            $handler->render($this->app['request'], $e)->send();
        }
    }

I got same problem.

Good to know. Heads up: this will work only for website errors, doesn't work for artisan commands.

Don't forget to add this:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\ConsoleOutput;

This issue has been fixed in the stable branch - https://github.com/octobercms/october/tree/stable

Any ideas how to make this work on for artisan commands?

@Abbas, as pointed out by @jung13798 there is already a fix for this on stable releases. That is basically, it's supporting Laravel 5.1. Have you tried upgrading you OctoberCMS project?

composer create-project october/october myproject dev-stable

It looks catching Throwable class seems ok for php7.

The question remains, is it worth it? Have you noticed any (significant) performance improvements on any of your projects?

Has anybody implemented OctoberCMS on PHP 7 in a production environment?

Regarding the last question, I can only say that running a simple Laravel Project on PHP 7 rather than on PHP 5.6 is a visible improvement in speed.

I have it running on php7 flawlessly on my development pc and my production site(http://the-usa-travelguide.com) and I have no problems with the latest installs or running the complex code. Im mainly still working on getting the backend up for the site before I work on the front end. so I can't comment on frontend issues(yet)

I have apache + php7 though, maybe that matters to know. I have no idea how it'll run under ngix.
