XenForo on PHP7

[eva2000]

Is anyone using PHP 7 on a live site? Any issues with add-on compatibility?

Using PHP 7.1.6 fine on my forums https://community.centminmod.com/ and know lots of my Centmin Mod users using PHP 7 with wordpress, xenforo etc.

Working without any problem on my forum for months. Have more than 90 addons and with @eva2000 centmin mod everything works OK
Including latest stable nginx, php, mariaDB, elasticsearch...

I get errors under php 7.1, but don't get them on 7.0. Any ideas?

 

[Mike Edge]

Bug in the style. Test using default style and see if it still happens.

I get these errors under php 7.1, but don't get them on 7.0. Any ideas?

Are you using the latest version of UI.X (Both the add-on and style)? We added PHP 7.1 support a couple of versions back. If you are and still get errors go ahead and make a ticket at themehouse.com and we can take a look

Thanks!

Just upgraded to PHP 7.0.22 and everything seems to be working well on all my sites including my Xenforo forum. I'll have to wait until Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes out to upgrade to a higher version of PHP as I only ever run the LTS server releases on my VPS. Hopefully by then any problems with recent versions of PHP will be fixed.

There’s a couple of issues in XF 1.5.14 with PHP 7.2 but they should be fixed in XF 1.5.15.

I read earlier in this thread something about how imajick i.e. image magic whatever doesn't jive with php7.x, is this the case?

 

[Naz]

That was when PHP 7 was in alpha/beta. Isn't the case anymore.

 

[Floyd R Turbo]

Thanks. So I'm my latest attempt to flip a switch from 5.6 to 7.0, I got the "an unexpected database error has occurred" message. Flip back, no error. If it matters, this was on a private board (password protected).

Would this https://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-on-php7.87806/page-10#post-1092173 apply to my scenario then?

 

[Naz]

Did you check your error logs?

Just switched over to 7.0.X after testing it locally and very happy - only had to update BD widget framework. Definitely seeing faster speeds.
