Installing Prestashop 1.7 Versions with which Version Of PHP?

[webthinkers]

Kindly suggest me which is the best possible version of PHP which is compatible with PS 1.7 Version 

 

Recommended by Prestashop:

Note: A local install is for testing purposes only. Customers won't be able to access your store unless it is hosted on the Internet.

Supported operating system: Windows, Mac and Linux

An Apache+PHP+MySQL prepared package: WampServer or EasyPHP for Windows, XAMPP or Bitnami for Windows and OS X

Web server: Apache 2.2+, Nginx

PHP 7.1+

MySQL 5.6+ installed with a database created

Configuration

In the PHP configuration (php.ini file), set memory_limit to "256M" and upload_max_filesize to "16M" (or more if available)

Must-have PHP extensions: CURL, DOM, Fileinfo, GD, Intl, Mbstring, Zip, Json, iconv

 

It is quite a challenge to configure MySql DB with PHP 7.1

It gives error on PHP 7.4 , when we add product cart, message shows that the product has been added, but in actual it is not.

So thinking of configuring PS 1.7 with PHP 7.3

Any suggestions are most welcome

You need to satisfy also the prestashop requirements, curl, pdo driver and a bunch of others. 

I would also go with ubuntu 18.4 there is more info for the lone developer and all packets/libraries  are distributed

Good luck with that.

It more likely that you will have issues if going newest version due to linux' nature having to distribute all parcels to their infrastructure. That preocedure can cost about 6 month to 18. It won't be a problem if you are at home with Servers and php development.
