PHP 8 Compatibility

[Reflic]

Hello all,

we would like to use the (strongly) recommended connector for a new application. However, our entire infrastructure runs on PHP 8.1, I see now that does not work then?

When is support for PHP 8.1 planned? PHP 8.1 is not around since yesterday ;) (November 25, 2021)

Hi,
please keep comments in English.
Connector Core version 5 supports PHP >=7.2 (see composer.json) this includes PHP 8.1 (semver check).

We can also confirm that the Core works with 8.1, as we use it in our SaaS Connectors.

hi platzke,

thank you very much. You are right - i did not look good enough. The problem is not jtl\connector itself. It is the dependency [symfony/http-foundation](https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/http-foundation): ^4.0|^5.0

We are using Laravel as a framework and this requires a higher version of http-foundation higher than 6.0. Maybe an update would be possible here. I will try bumping the version of http-foundation and will add a pull-request if i am succesful.

There is already an open discussion about that in #16
