PHP 8.0/8.1 are fine too, although imo they are something you should be updating from, not to Peter Professional ecommerce web hosting services Shared hosting Windows & Linux \| Dedicated servers \| Domains \| SSL Ecommerce Templates specialists since 2003 https://servelink.com

So they backed down again to 5.6 I have a screen shot of the Fatal error but not sure if I should post it here. It is a mysql query error with the incfunctions.php Edited by - charmarsh on 01/12/2023 18:54:26

So they backed down again to 5.6 The reason your client encountered an error upon upgrading the PHP version is that the default set of PHP Extensions applied by cPanel are not adequate. This is easily fixed in cPanel. To run latest PHP Version 8.2 just modify the list of PHP Extensions enabled as shown in this Forum post: https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=114687 Gary
