Up the min required PHP version

[spacedmonkey]

It is currently PHP 5.2. I think we should go to PHP 7.0 or PHP 7.2. Thoughts?

Agree!

I am of the camp of YOLO and just go to PHP 7.2. If you look at the stats, it is less than 5% is pre 7.2. There is 2.2 on PHP 5.6 still. But these would not get WordPress updates either. I can think it safe to go PHP 7.2. I could be talked out it. I would also bumb the min version supported to WP 6.0+ as well.

Thoughts @JJJ

YOLO it is.

Plus, we haven't actually changed anything in the code itself yet that would break anything for anyone.

It seems like the polite thing to do!

I plan to change this value

wp-multi-network/wpmn-loader.php

Line 19 in 3077a9f

* Requires PHP: 5.2

This will mean it the version of PHP doesn't match, then the update will not install.

Looking at the supported PHP versions at PHP.net and the versions supported by WordPress 6.7, I would say PHP 7.2 should be the bare minimum.

WP Multi Network master could be tagged with the latest minor (2.5.3) and the upcoming changes go in 3.0.0.
