By default SWIG/PHP wraps std::string& as a pass-by-reference PHP
string parameter, but sometimes such a parameter is only for input
or only for output, so add support for the named typemaps that other
target languages support.
A PHP exception now gets translated to a C++ exception to skips over C++
code to get back to PHP, avoiding the need to gate every directorout
typemap on EG(exception).
PHP5's C extension API has changed substantially so you need to use
-php7 to specify you want PHP7 compatible wrappers.
Fixes https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/571
changed to be consistent with other languages. The typemaps
provided by SWIG have been updated accordingly, but if you
have written your own directorout typemaps, you'll need to
update $input to &$input (or make equivalent changes).
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
now throw PHP Exception objects instead of giving a PHP error of
type E_ERROR.
This change shouldn't cause incompatibility issues, since you can't
set an error handler for E_ERROR, so previously PHP would just exit
which also happens for unhandled exceptions. The benefit is you can
now catch them if you want to.
Fixes SF#2545578 and SF#2955522.

backward compatibility, but add preferred forms WARN_PHP_* and use
these ourselves.
Rename Lib/php4 to Lib/php, Source/Modules/php4.cxx to Source/Modules/php.cxx.
Add typemaps for const reference so Examples/test-suite/apply_signed_char.i
works.
