Tim on "[Plugin: Participants Database] PHP 7 and MySQL 5.7"

Hi - just a quick question... does your plugin support PHP 7 and MySQL 5.7?

Thanks!

PHP 5.6 introduces SSL certificate verification, so if your config is broken, it will fail with this error. You should fix your SSL, but you can revert to the old behaviour by setting the SMTPOptions property to not verify certificates:

$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
'verify_peer' => false,
'verify_peer_name' => false,
'allow_self_signed' => true
)
);

Thanks for the tip, zurikus! In my case I was already on PHP 5.6 so that was working fine for me, but someone else might find it helpful to know that. :)
