i think we need new maintainer, because i am currently sick and dont have time.

But in the meantime maybe You can use this:

Will you accept a patch to resolve this issue?

I may consider becoming the maintainer of ncurses again (being the original author), but I'll only be able to look into this and decide in two weeks from now ...

The linked git repo looks like a bad port. It drops the garbage collection, and NCURSES_ prefix from some constants. It also doesn't build against 7.4.3.

There is a WIP in trunk that I've taken a look at. I've got it building against 7.0, 7.3, and 7.4 with the included example1.php functional. Haven't tested any further, or any other PHP versions.

Looks like ncurses is desperately in need of a new maintainer.
Latest release from 2012, not compatible with PHP 7 (let alone PHP
8).  Anybody who is interested in taking over this role should
consider to apply for a PECL account[1].
