System errors logs and PHP error 500

[stu_m]

Today I noticed I was getting a lot of 500 errors which is a php issue 

I have checked system logs and have loads of uncaught_exception errors 

Error: Call to undefined method DateTime::getDateInformation() (0)

These only started at 0430 this morning which is when the server updates happen 

I was running php8 I have just changed to 7.4 and the error seems to have stopped 

I have a sneaky suspicion this is related to a php update 

Currently running 4.7 not yet updated to 4.7.1

This is something which our team is investigating in relation to PHP 8. Which your experience makes sense here that it works going back to PHP 7.4.

[stu_m]

I will stay on PHP 7.4 for now then until a fix is found

A patch has been released to resolve this issue. Please visit support in your admin CP where you will see "optional patch" available.
