I’ve just upgraded my home NAS from OMV3 to OMV4 (Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch) via the OMV ISO - and took the opportunity to upgrade Asterisk15 to Asterisk16 (downloaded src and compiled) and FreePBX 13 to FreePBX 14.
FreePBX wants php5.6, and OMV/Debian 9 want php7.0 - but OMV uses nginx whereas FreePBX uses apache2 - so I managed to get everything to play nicely.
This is how to get it all to play nicely 
All open source components (commercial stuff isn’t supported debian) should work without issue in PHP 7. PHP 5.6 is a minimum. If you find an issue with FreePBX+ PHP 7 please report it to https://issues.freepbx.org
Anecdotally, I just put up a Debian 9 /FreePBX 15 system, to get UCP working I needed to install php5.6 and set apache2 to use it, then download/icu-devel and icu Centos 7 rpm packages and use alien/dpkg -i on each one as FreePBX doesn’t like the Debian available ones. So far so good . . .
Several freepbx php scripts (including fwconsole) fail under php7.0 for me with:
root@MediaVault:/var/www/html/ucp/assets/js/compiled/modules# php7.0 /usr/sbin/fwconsole
Whoops\Exception\ErrorException: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; dayNightObject has a deprecated constructor in file /var/www/html/admin/modules/daynight/functions.inc.php on line 9
Stack trace:
- Whoops\Exception\ErrorException->() /var/www/html/admin/modules/daynight/functions.inc.php:9
- Whoops\Run->handleError() /var/www/html/admin/bootstrap.php:362
- require_once() /var/www/html/admin/bootstrap.php:362
- require_once() /etc/freepbx.conf:9
- include_once() /var/lib/asterisk/bin/fwconsole:12
It runs without error under php5.6
And what dicko said above - UCP failed under php7.0 for me - and “retrieve_conf” and a variety of others.
I found that these DO work under php 7 in FreePBX 15 , it’s just the UCP that is dependent still on php 5.6 and only likes specific icu* libraries
