[metacreo]

Hello.

I have PS 8.1.6 with PHP8.2.19 working without any errors. 8.1.6 just flying on PHP 8.2.19 compared to 8.1

Please explain me why in core module 6.0.0 version requirements is downgraded?

I have fixed 6.0.0 and successfully updated from  8.1.6 to 8.1.7.

It this is marketing or what?

Hi @metacreo,

I have done some peace of work to set up PrestaShop's latest version 8.1.7 locally with PHP version 8.2.12.
  - faced 500 internal server errors due to PHP compatibility issues. Refer to the below screenshot for issue details.


- referred to a few forum topics and decided to downgrade the PHP version 8.2.12 into PHP 8.1. Even when facing different issues.

So I finally installed PrestaShop 8.1.1 with PHP 8.2.12 successfully on my local host. It's working fine.



Here are my Questions and Required support on 
   1. To Upgrade PrestaShop to the latest version PS 8.1.7 without downgrading PHP 8.2.12


Thanks & Regards,
Babu A.

They won't do anything about it. It's a marketing thing. To make you switch to the new version of PrestaShop. Want PHP 8.2, 8.3? Install Presta 9. At this time, third-party programmers see that support for the latest PHP can be made by changing a couple of lines of code. PrestaShop is moving away from PHP programming and closer to modular programming using ready-made frameworks. Modern PrestaShop does not deserve this name, since it is not what it used to be. As I have said more than once - the project is dying. Yes, there are more users due to the brand name and advertising, but most of them run away to other platforms after a short time using this dump of Symphony and other garbage. All this will very soon lead to huge criticism and collapse.

Despite a lot of noise, a lot of advertising and due to the proven old versions, prestashop is popular now. But only for those who try and start. Oddly enough, but you will not find a large successful project on new versions of ps. Why? Because it is not possible. Prestashop is an ideal shop with 100-200 products and 10-20 clients per day of course I was joking... but only a little. Everything is approximately so.

The latest version of PrestaShop is 1.6.0.14. It was after it that the "Adapter" directory appeared and experiments with garbage injection began instead of developing their own code. To use PrestaShop at the level of other modern platforms, you have 2 options: hire a programmer or become a programmer yourself for adapt for modern PHP and customization.

If you just use a modern PS under the condition that your shop and the number of clients will grow... sooner or later you will face the problem of performance and lack of support. This will force you to switch to another platform.

Good luck

I don't understand why PS v8.2.0 docs says PHP v8.2 not supported when other users report that it is working. What is the real situation right now?

 

I also don't understand what would be the purpose to marketing PS v9 if it is not even have beta release already it is only in Alpha stage right now, what am I missing?

It looks like they developed the latest version largely under PHP 8.1 and they haven't tested it thoroughly under 8.2 or they found some minor problem in a remote corner of the software. But that doesn't mean that it won't work under 8.2.

Forget about PS 9. Nobody knows how long that will take.
