We're always looking for ways to improve performance and keep the WHMCS codebase current. In WHMCS 8.0, that includes updates to PHP and its dependencies. For most WHMCS users, this won't change anything. If you maintain custom code like modules, hooks, or integration scripts, you may need updates to keep things working seamlessly. If you use anything from third-party vendors, check with them to make sure they're up-to-date. So, how do you verify and update your code? Here's the rundown of...View the full blog post
