With PHP 5.6 and 7.0 ending December what support for 1.6.1.x Domains from Prestashop?

[ScooterCk]

Hi 

With PHP 5.6 and 7.0 support ending with PHP in December 2018, are there any intensions from Prestashop with support being extended till June 2019 for PS 1.6.1.x to support PHP 7.1 or 7.2?

The fact that these versions are ending will have a MASSIVE impact on the majority of PS 1.6 domain owners as their websites will no longer work.

Please advise as just had notification from host that 3rd december there will be no php 5.6 or 7.0.

It seems that it is store specific. Some users find their store will not work with PHP 7, 7.1 and 7.2 others are finding no problems.

Remember, it is not just the core product, but all the addon modules. Some of the modules will be upgraded, others won't Depend on whether the dev for those modules are still actively working on the module

We recently switched to 7.1 and seems quite stable with 1.6.1.21. We did have a couple of glithces with some modules, but they have been sorted.

The only real way of knowing if you are affected is to run on a test bed

thirtybees is also an option, but that has different issues It is being actively developed and will/does support php 7.2, but not all current prestashop modules work with it. Most do, they claim 100%, but I have found some that don't

This is perhaps only an issue if you cannot control your php version. On our system we can set whatver PHP versions we like so should be future proof for a while yet

 

Simply, test, test and more test of your own unique installation
