Bug#1054036: php-geos: Triggers PHP Warning on every PHP call

[Edward Nash]

Package: php-geos
Version: 1.0.0-7+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Install php-geos and run e.g. php -i on the CLI or run any PHP script. A PHP warning is triggered:
PHP Warning:  GEOSGeometry::__toString() implemented without string return type in Unknown on line 0

The only way to prevent this and retain php-geos is to suppress reporting of PHP Warnings, which is
undesirable.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

This problem is fixed in upstream with commit ee5ca8f373 (https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/php-geos/commit/ee5ca8f3739a4e3c1cdeb0abf4f1a47d9ca751a5).

Please incorporate this patch in the Debian package of php-geos and also consider releasing it as a
bugfix for Debian stable, as the usability of php-geos is in my opinion strongly affected by this bug.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration!

Best regards,

Edward Nash
