[mapguide-users] mapguide-rest setup issue with Mpaguide 2.5.2

[Jackie Ng]

PHP 5.3 is long unsupported and full of security vulnerabilities. MapGuide
2.5.x is sadly tied to this version of PHP (because newer PHP versions are
built with an incompatible MSVC compiler) so you cannot just swap it out
that for a newer once.

All I can suggest (if you *really* have to stay on this version) is try the
most recent release package of mapguide-rest (you can find it under the
releases section). Just forget about trying a source-based install as that
requires setting up dev dependencies with composer, which requires PHP 5.5
at a bare minimum. All those incompatible errors you're seeing are for
dependencies needed to *build* various bits of mapguide-rest (eg. swagger
docs, release packaging, etc), but are not actually used by mapguide-rest.
