Active development of OpenCensus PHP

[nenad]

Hi!

I have a great interest in making PHP work with OpenCensus, and I found the basis of the package pretty solid. I've noticed that the activity of this project dropped significantly, so I forked the package and continued development at my forked repository.

Things that I have changed so far are:

• Added parameter and return types where applicable
• Changed the inject and extract methods slightly (breaking change)
• Changed the export method (breaking change)

I'd highly appreciate if I could become a collaborator of this project, so we could revive the project, or if you could review my fork and merge things that apply.

Cheers,
Nenad

@basvanbeek @ericnorris since you seem to be the only 'active' developers on this project, could you please enlighten us on this subject? (@chingor13 as the main contributor).

Hey @nenad and @Swahjak, I would not call myself a developer on this project in any capacity :) I was only submitting a PHP 7.4 fix for my company upstream.

That being said, OpenCensus has merged with OpenTracing to become OpenTelemetry - I would suggest switching to that project where possible. There is a PHP library at https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-php.
