create_function in Sources/Subs.php - errors in log_errors table - PHP 7.2.0

[Looking]

Very good mod, installed without errors and cleared up 7.2 error messages.

Hi, my host is suddenly running PHP 7.2 and I'm getting the error on my SMF v2.0.15 board: "Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in..." After some research, it looks like this mod is what I need but I'm getting errors during installation. The Replace ./Sources/Subs.php test failed. Any ideas?

Don't run PHP 7.2 is about it at the moment.

Since your host updated to php 7.2 there is not much you can do. If it's only errors but the mod is working, just ignore the errors.
However, you could always ask the creator of the mod if he's prepared to update his mod to php 7.2 compatibility, some codes are prepared to do that.

The only other option is to find a host which give you choices or still runs php 7.0 or 7.1.

SMF core reports errors on 7.2...

[Black Tiger]

Yes, but not with the SMF 2.0.X - PHP 7.2+ Compatibility mod by Chen Zen mentioned in this thread. I thought he installed that too.

I haven't installed the mod because it warned me of the error during testing. Don't want to accidentally break my site completely!

You might want to disable all other mods first before trying to install the php 7.2 compatibility mod to be sure. Good chance the error is created by another mod.

Anyway, if you really want to stay safe without errors in your case, there is only 1 method and that is what Arantor said.

You probably have no other bbc mods installed, no site I ever had would work without changes that can't be done by that mod.

I don't have BBC mods  (I think), but other mods:

[Arantor]

Yeah, nothing that adds new bbc, which won't (and can't) be fixed by the patch.

Informative thread but wishing for real PHP 7.2 support for 2.0x as my host will force migration in March 2020.

[Arantor]

There is only so much that can be done in 2.0, what can be done will be done in 2.0.16 but that will include simply turning off the relevant type of error as it can't be cleanly fixed fully. It is in 2.1 though that's not finished yet.
