Laravel 5.2 PHP 7.0.8 Upgrade Issue

Question

I am working on a Laravel 5.2 environment and after some tests I decided to upgrade my PHP version from PHP 5.6.* to 7.0.8 over Ubuntu.

So, I did it by using phpbrew and now php artisan migrate is not working anymore:

[PDOException]
could not find driver

Maybe I should try a downgrade to PHP 5.6 again, or rollback. So, any suggestions?

The only solution that worked for me so far is to disable MYSQL strict mode.

I've gone through this link and added the below line on my.cnf.

[mysqld]
sql_mode=''

I don't know if this is a good solution but it helped me to get going.
