Hi,

I'm sorry if it may be a question already asked but I can't manage to find any official documentation showing the PHP version requirements for IPB.

Can anyone point me to the right documentation please ?

Thankyou

PHP 5.6 is the minimum.

PHP 7.2 is the recommended.

Official in \applications\core\data\requirements.json

"php": {
        "required": "5.6.0",
        "recommended": "7.0.0"
    },
    "mysql": {
        "required": "5.1.3",
        "recommended": "5.6.2"
    }

But better IMHO php 7.2.x

We always recommend the latest supported versions, you have to keep in mind not everyone is in control of their php version though, php 7+ is recommended, as well as mysql 5.6+.

 

thankyou for your answers.

Currently, our community is running with latest 7.0.X. But I've the choice to run also on latest 7.1.X or latest 7.2.X : which one is the better choice ?

I've read some comments here of people having troubles with 7.2.X, but maybe they're old problems (?)

7.2 is fine with 4.3

 

7.2 is fine with 4.3

Thankyou !

 

I've read some comments here of people having troubles with 7.2.X

I'm currently on 7.2.4 all work be fine.

If you are using 4.3.x I would recommend using PHP 7.2. In my testing it is performing better than previous versions of PHP and is fully supported with Invision Community 4.3.

Thankyou all for your answers. OK for PHP 7.2.X

I'm just looking for the plug-ins i'm using (members map & rules), hoping they are also ok with PHP 7.2.X :) 

Received this alert in ACP

You are running PHP version 5.6.36. While this version is compatible, future releases of our software will require version 7.0.0 or above
