All those have since been corrected & are up to date. As the PHP version of the ECT cart is PHP 8.1 compatible I thought a timely reminder to anyone whose versions are somewhat 'lingering in the past' to check 'em & get them up to date. PHP 8.1 is fully supported til 25th Nov '23 & security support runs to 25th Nov '24. The 7.4 version of PHP was released on 28 Nov 2019. Its active core support ended on 28 Nov 2021 with just security updates available through to 28 Nov 2022 which is only 21 days away. Check yours & make sure you get your version up to date, where possible. If you have third party mods/add-ons you may need to check with those providers ----------------------------------------------- Steve Manchester UK How to update your store https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/updater_info.asp QuickBuy, Product & Product Details Layouts https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/layouts.asp User Manual - an easy read! https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/free_downloads.asp#usermanual Request Updater https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/updaters.asp

PHP 8.2 goes General Availability in two or three weeks, and which point PHP 8.0 drops out of mainstream support and starts going away. I'd expect us to have 8.2 available for end users in January, although it can sometimes take a little longer for required extensions to catch up. https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php Things are much easier for ASP users, as Active Server Pages haven't seen an update since November 2000 so everyone is already on the latest Peter Professional ecommerce web hosting services Shared hosting Windows & Linux \| Dedicated servers \| Domains \| SSL Ecommerce Templates specialists since 2003 https://servelink.com
