PHP 7.2/7.3 - any issues

[arnor@icetips.com]

Hi all,

My client's hosting is using PHP 7.1.31 and we are looking at upgrading to PHP 7.3.8. They have one version in between, 7.2.21. Are there any known issues using PHP 7.3.8 with Fabrik?

Best regards,
Arnor

I currently run 7.2.13 on my main dev system. As far as I'm aware there should be no problems with 7.3.x, I haven't heard any reports of any issues, but I don't know how many people are using it.

If you want to play safe, I'd suggest 7.2.x for now, until I get some time to update my XAMPP setup for 7.3.

I have several Fabrik sites running with php7.3.
Seems to be ok so far.

I finally got the time to update, so I'm now on PHP 7.3.9.

One of these days I'm going to move all my dev stuff off of XAMPP and into an Ubuntu VM, where I just just type "apt update" instead of jumping through all kinds of hoops when I need to update httpd / PHP / mysql. I used to have a setup like that, where I just ran VirtualBox on my laptop with a VM, with the web root in a shared folder for PHP Storm running natively. But then I changed laptops, and ran into issues with virtualization ... had to switch back to XAMPP while I sorted that out ... and since then, as it's only really an annual pain, I've just kinda lived with the short term XAMPP update pain. Ah well. Next time I have a spare day ...
