Has anyone tried running the board on PHP 7.3 with stable results?
XenForo with PHP 7.3
- Thread starter DistortedDorian
- Start date
1) It's still in beta and won't be stable until December so you shouldn't be running it on a live site.
2) We haven't had an opportunity to test it, yet. At some point we will either announce that a particular version is now PHP 7.3 compliant and/or update the recommended PHP version on the buy page: https://xenforo.com/buy/
3) As noted, XF adding compatibility (if it needs to) is only one hurdle. Add-on developers would need to test and verify their own code works with it too.

I have been running php7.3 for a while now with ThemeHouse addons/theme and it works great except for the sitemap generation error that occasionally pops up. Even though the site appears to work fine I wouldn't use this in live environment until 2019
.
The usage statistics are speaking for themself https://xenforo.com/community/threads/push-notifications.154592/

FYI, PHP 7.3.0 GA Stable is coming out today - very speedy version from my benchmarks https://community.centminmod.com/threads/php-7-3-vs-7-2-vs-7-1-vs-7-0-php-fpm-benchmarks.16090/

Well, I don't think Xenforo themselves have given the go-ahead for XF being PHP 7.3 compliant. I don't see 7.3 on the buy page yet. Also, for those using cpanel, I'm pretty sure that 7.3 won't be available to them until version 80, which won't be out till April (I think). Of course someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
They kinda have:
XF 2.1 - PHP 7.3.1
@Chris D With the release of PHP 7.3.1 today, has any php bugs resolved and you deem it safe to run all latest XF (2.1.x included) with PHP 7.3?

Understood and there is plenty of room for debate on the definitions of current and bleeding edge.

Except that they also don't recommend you run XF 2.1 itself yet on a live site, and then there's the issue of addon's, of course. I'm gonna go ahead and switch to Cyberpanel next weekend, partly so I can try out PHP 7.3.1 on my XF2 site, so I guess I'll see what I see then....They kinda have:
