I have, under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, "Xenial Xerus", and it needs a LOT of 
work.  I don't code PHP, so I'm not going to try.  I would rather the 
PHP code not turn into another WordPress, phpMyAdmin, phpBB, or 
SquirrelMail.

Until this code gets massaged to work under PHP 7.0, I had to get a PPA 
which has PHP 5.5 and 5.6 set up and installed so I could install PHP5.6 
and get it working.  The good news is that the stuff that's mainly 
installed by Pear works just fine straight from the repository.  It's 
the stuff that directly extends the interpreter and the interpreter 
itself that needs to come from a different repository.  Information 
about how to set up older PHP installations under Xenial Xerus can be 
had here:
