I've set the server for my site to PHP 7.3 and so far, it works! My site (docskillz.com) uses SMF 2.0.15 and it's not supposed to support it! If you experience any problems please let me know. If I find no problems, I'll start upgrading the other sites on the server too.

Remember, you can always change your own PHP version in your cPanel, if needed. After the change, it will take a minute or two to complete. During that time you may see "Service Unavailable" on your site until it completes. Then all should be good! ;)

Ok, found out something. I've been noticing errors on my site related to the arcade for awhile now but thought it just needed updating. But there's more to it than that...

The errors state that the "create_function ()" is depreciated. After a search on Google it seems that it should be changed to "function ()". Now for the bad news...LOL There's tons of "create_function ()" in many files in many places through out SMF 2.0.15! They would all need to be changed but there's no telling what would happened if you did that. Not to mention the same for the mods and themes...

I've changed it back for now. Maybe I'll play around with it on a test site and see what happens. ;)


From what I can see it does not affect SMF 2.1 at this time.

vbgamer has a mod to make php 7.3 compatible with 2.0.15. I'm pretty sure anyway.

I haven't checked for any mods for it. I didn't think anyone would make one for this. But one thing is for sure...php 7.3 is much faster!

I'm positive he was talkin about one he made not to long ago. It's probably on his site.

I couldn't find it on his site but did find this for 2.1 which sounds very interesting!

Ah! I remember that now. Chen Zhen was creating it but I didn't know he was doing it with vbgamer. Btw, Chen's site seems to be down, atm.

I see the Simple Portal site is down too.  Are they both on the same server or something?

I have installed php 7.1 to 7.3. Nothing above 7.1 will run any of these sites I have on this server. All I get is database connection issues.

Yes, you'll get that but wait a minute or two then refresh your browser and it should work. You'll get a ton of errors in your logs for 2.0.x. but not sure about 2.1 cause I haven't tested it with those yet.
