Compatibility with PHP 7.4.0

[Gabriel Torres]

Hi folks,

PHP 7.4.0 was released this week: https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-7.php#7.4.0

Is Invision Community compatible with it? Or should we keep with PHP 7.3.x for the time being?

Cheers.

It isn't and better to stick to PHP 7.3.
Probably the compatible version of PHP 7.4 will be with version IPS 4.5 as it was in previous releases.

What compatibility bugs you got when you tested php 7.4 with the last version of ips?

For the first time you don't see any errors, but I don't recommend working on the latest version until the release of the latest version of IPS 4.5.

I understand what you mean. But IPS might be already 100% compatible with PHP 7.4. It happened in the past.

We have found some deprecation warnings when testing PHP 7.4 locally (with developer mode enabled, which outputs these). We will look to ensure 4.5 is fully compatible with PHP 7.4. Until then, we wouldn't recommend the upgrade just yet.

Thank you @bfarber!

It would be nice if all marketplace developers were apprised that 4.5 will be made compatible with PHP 7.4 and going forward all marketplace apps will require auditing to ensure they support that version.  A PHP compatibility field added to all marketplace apps would be helpful to customers to now which ones are compatible with the PHP version they are using.
