Hello @ClicShopping,

Nice. My hoster do not propose this at this time but, when this option will be available, I will make some test and report if I see something.

A nice function apear inside php 7.4 : Preload : https://wiki.php.net/rfc/preload

It can increased the speed of the website, not a little . But the problem, every time you change something inside a file, you must restart the server because everything is push in memory.

Note : when I wil install php 7.4, I will make some test also !

About the preload, I take time to read, and I more moderate on that. Depends of the site, it can increase or not the website. I do not know if it will be implemented inside ClicShopping, we will see.

Hello,

@Drack, thank you for this report, updated.
The ClicShopping Core seems to work fine with php 7.4, just the external libraries must be updated eventually, for that we must wait the developer to make the work.
If I see something, I will update the core.

 

There, the elements can put eventually a problem after a quick search (I do not say, you will have an error, more test must be again done) :
base on this information : https://www.php.net/manual/fr/migration74.deprecated.php

 

Using array_key_exists() on objects (some external libraries) ¶

Magic quotes functions  (ckeditor) ==> no impact

 

 

[Drack]

Ok, I will continue my test, seems the external libraries works fine in the core version. I have no error at this moment.

@ClicShopping, @Drack,

 

Thank you for your works and informations. Nice to know there is not specific problem with 7.4.

Is it interesting to migrate on php 7.4 ?

[Drack]

The performance is better that 7.3x but you must have all your applications must work with php 7.4.

You must be care full, after ClicShopping seems works fine with 7.4.

Of course, you must download and update your application with the latest commit.

@Carole,

Install on your local server php 7.4 and test you application. If everything works fine, you can go in production.
