wow, that is amazing, yes i will try that in a few days when i get time, amazing info,
but also a bit of a pian that there is no facility in the zencart software to easily allow to be able remove the need for a phone number on the customer sign up.

Yes my host does cater for PHP 8.0 an 8.10 but it is the company i originally purchased the Zen template from, say they no longer support it,
but i have been able to modify most things on it before, but it just needs to somehow run PHP 8.1, i think i need to hire a dev to do this for me,
is there any one on here who can change the code on the zencart template i have? - my zencart software and hosting is all up to date.

regards
Dougie.
