    Default Is v154 compatible with PHP 5.6?

    Hi,

    I'm doing some upgrades on my VPS (to EA4 and WHM v78). However, the server is currently running PHP 5.3 which is not available on EA4. I would like to just bump up to PHP 5.6 but I'm worried about breaking my Zen Cart.

    Is v154 compatible with PHP 5.6?

    If not, what is the highest PHP that *is* compatible with ZC 154?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    As far as I recall, we tweaked v154 for PHP 5.6. But it's very possible that there's been bugfixes in later versions that are directly related to PHP 5.6. Sorry it too far back to accurately enumerate such a list of possible later issues.

    So... probably not a good idea to go to 5.6.

    What about 5.5 or 5.4? I'm not sure what the minimum is for EA4, but 5.3 (where the server is now) is really old.

    Again, from the link provided by DrByte
    Zen Cart v1.5.4 is designed for PHP 5.5 and PHP 5.6 (and is compatible with PHP 5.3.7* and PHP 5.4 if posted bugfixes are researched and applied)
    As to things done later to support php 5.6, there is this thread on the 1.5.4 release: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...s)-with-v1-5-4

    And then there are possibly some other things that have been changed in later versions that were done to address php 5.6.
