Does SMF 2.0.17 support PHP version above 7.1 ?

Hi all,

Does SMF 2.0.17 support PHP version above 7.1 ?
As for example PHP version 7.3 ?

Or do I have to wait SMF 2.1.x ?

Thanks

Yes it does. 7.2 officially support.
But, in my experience works fine on 7.3
7.4 not supported and has known issues.

Ok, thank you vbgamer45 

Have a nice day

If you go above 7.1, keep an eye on your forum and server error logs, they can get quite large.

I attempted to tell you in another thread that people can opt to use my compatibility mod.
It will replace all the deprecated native SMF code with up to date syntax.  It is updated for 2.0.17.

Missed it.  Link?

The mod is available here:

Got it, thanks.  Does it remove the deprecated code or just hide the errors?

[Chen Zhen]

It replaces all instances of create_function() with  anonymous functions in SMF default files.

It also adds a new option in your admin core features to hide or show deprecated warnings for that deprecated function (instead of hiding it by force). This way an admin can opt to disable hiding it to debug older mods.. or possibly hide them on purpose because they do not know how to fix/edit older mods still using that function.

this mod worked for me, thanks. I had deprecated lines on several forum tabs, they are gone now.
