niemie Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 When I asked support, they basically just brushed this off saying they had no immediate plans for PHP 7 compatibility. I'm concerned by this as PHP 7 release is weeks away. Does anyone have any idea of their plans for 6.x to be compatible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted November 13, 2015 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hi, We certainly do intend to provide support for PHP 7.0 and are well under-way working towards it. At this time Ioncube has not yet released a date for when they will begin offering support for PHP 7.0 but rest assured we are working to bring PHP 7.0 support as soon as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 niemie Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) It appears Ioncube now supports PHP 7 - how soon can we realistically expect a WHMCS release that does the same? http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?t=4287&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45&sid=67789eb5f3515e92006427bf3c921d76 Thanks!

0 servetas Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I suspect the most correct answer is "when it will be ready". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Plambee Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Currently the PHP7 support for Ioncube is still beta, nobody knows when its final. So WHMCS will wait for the final version. Furthermore the new Loader needs encoded files for PHP 5.6, but I think WHMCS still supportes PHP 5.3, so WHMCS will support PHP7 maybe with WHMCS 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WHMCS Technical Analyst WHMCS Edward Posted June 22, 2016 WHMCS Technical Analyst Share Posted June 22, 2016 Currently the PHP7 support for Ioncube is still beta, nobody knows when its final. So WHMCS will wait for the final version. Furthermore the new Loader needs encoded files for PHP 5.6, but I think WHMCS still supportes PHP 5.3, so WHMCS will support PHP7 maybe with WHMCS 7. The next version of WHMCS is introducing a minimum PHP requirement of PHP 5.6. You can learn more about that and our PHP 7 plans in our blog post from earlier this month: http://blog.whmcs.com/?t=114831 What about PHP 7.0?We're already developing, running and testing WHMCS internally in PHP 7 environments. Within the last few weeks, Ioncube has released loaders that support PHP 7.0 under beta status. We continue to monitor and watch with interest the progress of Ioncube's loader development for PHP 7.0 and are committed to delivering WHMCS with support for PHP 7.0 as soon as the necessary Ioncube loaders are made available. -Eddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 twhiting9275 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for php 7 until version 7. That's a pretty reasonable bet. Adding php7 support would be a good thing, but it'd mean totally redesigning reports (which are still using the old school query functionality), rewriting a ton of docs (which it looks like they're doing), and a ton of other stuff. While they could totally surprise us , I'm pretty sure we won't see php 7 support until the next major version release (v7). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
