Featured Replies

As the title said. Is there someone who test the new php 7.2 Release candidate with WHM cpanel?

I don't use any Panel, but im testing PHP 7.2 RC6 with IPS 4.2.6 and it works flawless.

It seems to working fine with 7.2 RC5 :)

If you do come across any issues on PHP 7.2, please feel free to let us know so we can fix them up. Internally, we don't see anything that is a major concern, however we can miss things too.

Final version of PHP 7.2 was released today. Working on my site without (at least visible) flaws.

I tested also with no issues :)

I have been testing 7.2 locally and addressing any issues that come up.

I've installed 7.2 through the Plesk Installer but one I select in Plesk 7.2 as FPM through Apache I get an Error 500 on the frontend. Backend works, so I guess it is one of the plugins from the store that has an issue with 7.2? Is it worth the time to test around which plugin it could be over just waiting a few month?

Will 4.2 be compatible to php 7.2 or will we have to wait for 4.3?

It is compatible :)

But you must check also the addons that you plan to use if they are compatible also ....

Does invision support it officially?

 

 

Does invision support it officially?

I sent support asking on January 8th asking the same thing. This was their response:

Hello,

7.2 has only very recently been released, and was released after the latest stable release. For this reason, I would not advise switching to this just yet. Wait for some confirmation of this first of all.

Kind Regards,

So hopefully soon. Maybe 4.3?

Even if IPB support officially latest php 7.2 you must wait a bit for third part software/modules to support it also, as for example you may need Ioncube and they do not support php 7.2 yet...

My recommendation is to use latest php 7.1 unless you know what you doing and what you will need to go ahead with php 7.2 :)

Running the latest PHP 7.2.1 with no issue at all. Everything works fine so far.

I switched to PHP 7.2.1 since @jcdesign said he was. No problems at all as well.

How much faster is 7.2 compared to 7.0? Is it a worthwhile difference?

I am running 7.2 with nginx with a brand new site and new server. So far no issues but I can't provide comparative data. 

From 7.0 to 7.2 around 17% ....

 

How much faster is 7.2 compared to 7.0? Is it a worthwhile difference?

In my testing locally it is significantly and measurably faster.

I just edit my post as i had in my mind the update from 7.0 to 7.1 as most users do that kind of updates in steps so the correct report from my personal benchmarks 7.2 will be faster from 7.0 around 17% :-)

Looking forward to upgrading, I was told there's not much difference between 7.0 and 7.1 but 17% better is a worthy switch.

I suppose that 7.1 to 7.2 will not make a sensible difference, but 7.0 to 7.2 can make it.

Much difference from 7.1?

Not much but if you don't need ioncube and applications/addons/custom code are compatible with the latest 7.2.x version then it is better to use the latest version.
