OJS3 and PHP version

Software Support

Hi all,
Is anyone running OJS3 on PHP 7.1 ? Any problems ?
We are planning a freesh install and the 7.1 version is the most extended supported version. See https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php.
Is it safer to go with PHP 5.6.28 ?

Hi @pnault,

I have tried run OJS 3.0, but not 3.0.1 version, with php 7.1 without success. On php 7.0 all works fine.

Hi all,

One notable change between OJS 3.0.0 and OJS 3.0.1 is the overhauled class constructor syntax. We’re now using modern PHP syntax with OJS 3.0.1. It’s possible that PHP 7.1 has introduced incompatibilities with our code – I haven’t tested PHP 7.1 yet but will shortly.

Hi all,

FYI, the tests appear to run OK with PHP 7.1 on the git master branch version of OJS, which is close to the same as OJS 3.0.1.

Just done major upgrade to our production system and must say that all works fine with latest PHP 7.1.5

Many thanks to the developers! It’s great to realize that newest software can be used with OJS3!
