PR is made. PHP 5.6 has some issues also, but I would like to leave 5.6 as it is now.

Hello, we have customers on MS Azure using 5.6.28 and facing these warnings. I see from the comments that this will be fixed in PHP 7.x. Can you please pull this fix into 5.6.x branch as well?

According to <https://3v4l.org/IA2Cp#v7012> this is fixed as of
PHP 7.3.0.  Older versions are out of active support for quite
some time now, so the fix will not be backported.
