Compatibility Concrete 5.9 + PHP 8.1 ?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi,
I'm starting a new website and I will need your addon. What's the current status on the Concrete 5.9 and PHP 8.1 compatibility ? Is it now safe to use them both ? Since PHP 8.0 is out of active support on January 2023,it would make sense to use PHP 8.1...

Yes, I already have a license for that would be for a new project - so new license, new LAMP stack and I will probably be using features from the addon that I haven't used yet. Hence the question.
I understand it's difficult to maintain code for a variety of environments. The main problem is PHP 8.0 nearing end of life, otherwise I would have stayed with it. But 8.1 is supposed to be a minor upgrade, so I guess there should not be too much troubles. In your experience do you have any documented problems in Concrete 9 along with PHP 8.0 ?

Hi there,
Just tested with a 9.1.1 ConcreteCMS version on PHP 8.1 and so far so good. Can use normal fields, repeatable fields, generate the blocks and all that. With my last update in February, I covered all the PHP8 issues there were it seems. Reading the change log and migration guide, I assume we're all good. But of course, there always could be a case here or there were I missed a bit. Since there is SO MANY options available in this Add-On, it could be there is still something that breaks. I wouldn't assume it at this point, but nothing is perfect. I mostly use text/image/file/repeatables myself and these are pretty standard - so that's probably why my setup isn't always the best. So once you find something that is broken, do let me know. I am here!
Kind regards
Ramon

You already have a license right, did you see any issues so far? I haven't migrated to PHP 8.1 myself yet, so can't confirm any bugs myself yet. But in case you have already, do let me know. My time is limited and everyone is pulling my arms left and right, so not really have the comfort to just check every functionality of every Add-On on every CMS version and every PHP version!
Kind regards
