Does cs 4.1.5 (4.2.*) work with php 5.5 ?

Hello.



Thank you for the message.



The recommended php versions are 5.3 and 5.4, so one of those would be a safer choice. But as far as I know, there is quite a bit of CS-Cart users who use php 5.5 successfully.

I tried to upgrade my php version to 5.5 while using CS-CART: version 2.1.4 PROFESSIONAL and I get the following error displayed on the top of the homepage



Strict Standards: Declaration of Templater::display() should be compatible with Smarty::display($resource_name, $cache_id = NULL, $compile_id = NULL) in /homepages/5/d11254627/htdocs/mywebsite.com/core/class.templater.php on line 28



Is there a way to fix this issue without having to upgrade the whole cs-cart package?

Is that the only error for using php 5.5 and cs-cart 2.1.4 or there may be others that will create even more problems to the store?



I updated to php 5.5 and another store I have that is using CS-CART: version 2.2.5 PROFESSIONAL is not showing that same error…



Any suggestions?

Hello all,

this issue can be solved if you make this change in your config.local.php file:

Old code:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '>=')) {
error_reporting(error_reporting() & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);
}

New code:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '>=')) {
error_reporting(error_reporting() & ~(E_DEPRECATED | E_STRICT));
}

in the beginning of the file...

Although if you have PHP version 5.5.x you will see some Warning messages at the categories products page.. or even in a specific product page..does not even load the page, probably because of timeout...

Does anyone has this problem, too?

The version of this website is 2.2.5

Hello all again,

I just read here in the forum another topic that said

"I should inform you that, unfortunately, PHP 5.4 is not supported by CS-Cart 2 as far as Smarty version 2.6.18 is used in it, which is not compatible with PHP 5.4. A lot of different problems may occur, so we recommend you to downgrade your PHP version to 5.3.x. or upgrade your store system to the latest version. CS-Cart 4.0.x/4.1.x supports PHP version 5.4."

here is the link:

http://forum.cs-cart.com/topic/35465-error-message-after-server-upgraded-to-54-from-52-need-help/

So I guess, version 2.x.x is not supported via PHP 5.4
