Answer

Unfortunately, Chilkat is hoping and praying that SWIG (swig.org) will support PHP 7.*

It's been a year of waiting, and nothing so far.. One of these days Chilkat will discard SWIG altogether with the generation of the PHP<-->C++ layer, and then this issue won't exist. Unfortunately, of all programming languages, PHP is the most complicated, messy, tangled beast when it comes to interfacing with C/C++...
