Open conference system and php7

Hello,

Is there a version of OCS that is compatible with php 7.1.8? I am trying to install version 2.3.6 from the OCS home page but, I am getting the error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use ‘String’ as class name as it is reserved in …/lib/pkp/classes/core/String.inc.php on line 57

thank you

Hi @Jeremy_Jones,

I did see that thread. Can you post a link to the github file, I could not find it and downgrading php is not an option at this point. I only found ocs_ocs_dev_2_3. I thought I was using the latest version, 2.3.6 linked at https://pkp.sfu.ca/ocs/ocs_download/.

Hi @Jeremy_Jones,

You’ll need to use git to grab the ocs-stable-2_3_6 branch.
