Does codeigniter 3 support PHP 7?
Does codeigniter 3 support PHP 7?
In the docs of CodeIgniter it states,
PHP version 5.4 or newer is recommended.
I looked on forums etc. and wasn't able to find a definitive yes/no on this, even though the above sentence applies a 'yes', I wasn't sure if that extended to the (now new) PHP7.
I have tried a simple CI3 example with PHP7, and all I can report is so good, so far.
Why not? I'd suggest that you haven't had any issues so far because codeigniter does support PHP 7. The last version was 6 days ago and the version before that includes fixes for
count with PHP 7.2...– Jonathan Clark

Yes. The latest v3.0.4 changelog explicitly has changes to use PHP7 functionality where it can e.g.
Updated Security Library method get_random_bytes() to use PHP 7’s
random_bytes() function when possible.
Update August 2018
There's also items in the change log for 3.1.8 which relate to fixes for PHP 7.2, as well as 3.1.7 which specifically mention fixes for PHP 7
so why does CI still use my_sql (which has been removed in php7) instead my_sqli ?I had to all the my_sql into my_sqli manually.

It still have the
mysql_ functionality for added support on older PHP versions. CI3 is built to run on PHP 5.2.4+. You shouldn't have needed to change any parts of the driver, you should have just needed to specify the driver to be mysqli (codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/configuration.html)– gabe3886

I wouldn't recommend using PHP v7 with the latest code igniter on a production environment without extensive testing to ensure that no issues will be encountered. So far, I haven't found any issues which affect my particular setup.
