Re: Need to update due to PHP change.

Question - We are currently on version v1.5.5a using PHP 5.6. We have our DEVELOPER site pointing to PHP 7.3 and it's working. What are the consequences of moving to PHP 7.3 and staying on ZenCart version v1.5.5a?

Re: Need to update due to PHP change.

Too much hassle for too little return. Take a week or two to get ready and go for it with 1.5.7. Should be out in a week or two.
