Our VPS provider downgraded PHP from 7.2.2 to 5.6. Is there a list of changes that we need to back out to support 5.6 running OJS 2.4.8.5?
(We asked them to investigate what it would take to install PHP 5.6
…they translated that to “INSTALL PHP 5.6”!)
I don’t think OJS 2.4.8-5 implements any code which requires PHP7 (at least in core). Are you getting specific errors in your error log?
That said, PHP 5.6 is beyond end-of-life and PHP 7.x is standard. It is strongly recommended to use PHP 7.x.
Per these following links, it seems that there are pieces that were modified for php 7.x
and
So we need to back them out…somehow. Thanks,
A substantial amount of work was done to remove deprecated or obsolete PHP 4.x or 5.3.x/5.4.x functions and syntax which would cause warnings and errors in PHP7. That work did not generally make the code incompatible with PHP 5.6.
These changes would not need to be reverted.
Code which is PHP7-only is fairly limited: e.g., the coalescing operator ??, or empty array assignment by [], or some other changes. If any of these constructs are used, they will show up in your error log as syntax errors, and will need to be backed out. I don’t think such exists in 2.4.8-5 code.
PHP 7.x removed a couple of functions that are in 5.x

Thanks. Upon downgrading, we received no php 7.x errors. I copied two blocks of errrors. First is for 5.6 and the second is for 7.2.2. Any thoughts please? Thank you!!!

The errors in your 5.6 log are related to file permissions, specifically on the file /home/radjr1/ojs-data/usageStats/usageEventLogs/usage_events_20191009.log. Check the owner, group, and permission settings for this (and similar files in your files_dir).
The warnings in your PHP 7.x log include the same, but also add developer warnings about method signatures. Only the errors (file permissions) will affect operation. The warnings can be suppressed.
Correct. For example, the old split function is now replaced by the explode function, which works in 5.6.x and 7.x.
Re permission, I set the owner from root to the account user and the errors stopped. Thanks for your help.
Yes, the logs cleaned up nicely. One more weird error though…
