Does ClicShopping run on PHP 8?

[Tempo]

Hello,

 

Php arrive soon, do you try to run ClicShopping under php 8.0 ? Does it work ?

[Julie]

Hello Tempo,

 

No idea, my hoster do not propose me this function. Is it on live now ?

[Foster]

Hello,

Is it not to soon. It's better to stay under php7.4.x and wait an update no ?
If you look Github you will see there is some update for the next release, maybe ?

[ClicShopping]

No it do not work complety at this time again a little way.

[Julie]

Hello ClicShopping,

 

Just a question,  do you make other version before php 8 ? i am curious because I saw on Github some development.

Hello Julie,

 

Yes, before to go on php 8, a new rellease will be out

Hello;

Nice, Do you push on Github? It will be interesting to test.

 

thank you

[Julie]

Not enough knowledge for me ☹️, But it's good for the future 👍

[ClicShopping]

Hello @Drack,

I need take time to test on local after to push the modification. After that on Github you can upload this new version.

[Tempo]

Does it difficult to install php 8 ?

[Drack]

Hello @Tempo

 

Some tutorials are started on internet about that.

But in summay, you must remove php7.4 and after install php 8. It seems do not work together.

Also phpMyadmin do not work very well; some errors appears but you can remove, add .... information.

 

I uploaded yesterday the ClicShopping php8 quickly :

- installation works very fine

- application works also and I see a speed improvment. If you use the preoading. it's again better.

 

First conclusion for my first quickly test.

 

[ClicShopping]

Hello,

 

I tested the qpplication on local post. Yes seems works fine but there is again a little work. Patience.

Else phpMyAdmin has little problem, composer do not work on my 20.04.

Php is not again in production but it nice about ClicShopping can work.

[Manupichu]

Php 8.0 is out now.

[Manupichu]

Do you recommend to install ClicShopping in dev ?

[Patrick]

If you want to test yes, but you must install php 8 before :).

[Drack]

I tested the current development, it works nice, I suppose it will be ready when bootstrap 5 will be released.

[Oka]

Hello @drack,

 

Do you see a difference with php 7.4 ?

[Foster]

Yes there is a difference, PHP 8 bring lot of functionalities and improvement.

The impact yill be also on the software.

[AlwaysSkint]

My take on this.

Successful e-commerce requires stability and jumping on the latest bleeding edge software always has an element of risk.

Continually moving the PHP minimal version is not good practice, IMO.

Development of ClicShopping should strive to work on a range of environments and not be tied to a specific version of PHP, for example.

I have a number of e-commerce sites that have been running securely and successfully for over 10 years, with only minor updates to their software.

It is MUCH more important to squash bugs and improve on existing functionality, rather than impose/introduce the latest trend/fad.

 

Good luck, going forward.

Hello,

I installed on my server a test version on the V3.3, works very nice.

I will make some other test before to migrate

[Foster]

Hello @AlwaysSkint,

I understand you point of view as service provider.

But the php evolution has some bug fix and secure fix.You can say your server is secure after some years use the same php version. Maybe your code is secure, but not your php version.

Also all the ClicShopping version updated fix some bugs identified in the time and at the moment all software need a break to follow the technology.
Maintain some different solution for free is not relevant in my sense.
