  I've just installed CiviCRM on a Joomla 3.5.1 site to learn how to use it.
  I am seeing an issue that I have a question about.
  
  As long as I use Php 5.6 the installation works properly. If I try to use Php 7 everything on the Joomla site works except Civicrm. From the backend if I select Civicrm I get this error: *Call to undefined function dl()*
  
  As soon as I go back to Php5.x all is well. The database is using utf8mb4\_general\_ci collation and mysqli.
  
  Is there anything that needs to be done to use Php7 that I haven't found?
  
  Thank you.
