Hi,

My site is showing a great many seemingly unrelated errors in Piwigo 12.2.0. These errors arose all at one time about the end of March.

i am wondering about the compatibility of php version 8.0.16 used by Piwigo and version ea-php 80 used by my web host. I have discussed this with representatives of the hosting company, and they say there have no recent changes in their operating environment.

Can anone tell me if the two versions of php , 8.0.16 and ea-php 80, are compatible?

Thank you,

Bob Deming

ea-php80 is EasyApache PHP 8.0 used in conjunction with cPanel. Like a regular PHP 8 wrapped in some selector package, see https://docs.cpanel.net/ea4/php/easyapa … i-package/ and your hosting provider should know details.

That being said, while Piwigo 12.2 is mostly compatible with PHP 8 it is not completely ready yet, there are still some dirty corners needing cleaning. I'd recommend using PHP 7.4 instead. While it is not actively developed anymore it still gets security support until November 2022 (see https://www.php.net/supported-versions ).

Hello erAck,

Thank you very much for your explanation of the relationships between php versions and Piwigo version 12.2.
I have just finished a fairly pointed conversation with my web host (Bluehost) regarding their arbitrary change to php8 without telling anyone about it.

I have put my domain back on php7.3 and all is working well. Bluehost says they will continue to offer 7.3 and 7.4 until they no longer receive security updates.

Thanks again for your attention to my posts, and for your explanation of the situation.

Bob Deming.

PHP 7.3 is already EOL though since November now.. PHP 7.4 works fine.

What's the latest word on this? My hosting provider is nagging to upgrade to 8.0. But on this page:

https://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=user … all:before

7.0 or 7.1 is recommended.

I'm currently using 7.4, but that reaches EOL on Jan 1.

I realize that it's probably not a big deal, but wanted to get up to date.

Currently, Piwigo 13.x core supports PHP 8.1 BUT some (many) plugins still have syntax errors with PHP 8 :-/ We're (slowly, not as a priority) helping maintainers to make them compatible.
