Php 7.0 Or 7.1 Or 7.2?

General Installation & Upgrade
1

I am running the latest version of CS-Cart Pro.

Having just switched web hosts, I now have the ability to run my site on PHP 7 (my former host wouldn't allow me to have some sites on PHP 7 at the same time as others that were still on 5).

So, does it matter whether I choose 7.0, or 7.1 or 7.2? All of those are options in my PHP manger.

Thanks.

So basically just go with the highest...

Look at CS-Cart Requirements page; http://docs.cs-cart.com/4.7.x/install/system_requirements.html

currently only support up tp PHP 7.1

7.2 gives many errors. Go for 7.1

Your errors may or may not be related to PHP version so I would start and new thread with the errors.

Each new PHP version has some fixes and improvement in code structure or performance. For example, there was a huge difference in performance between 5.6 and 7.0 but only slight improvement in performance between 7.0 and 7.2. I have used PHP 7.2 on my Cloudways hosting server. They have a custom stack that consists of varnish, memcached, redis and php-fpm. I upgraded directly from 5.6 to 7.2 and noticed a huge difference in performance. My website used to load in 2.2s but now loads in 1.1s.

Everything except PHP 7.2 is end of life 12/31. Go 7.2x

That's gonna depend on what version of cs-cart the merchant is on. Only more recent versions ( don't trust my memory) like 4.7 and up will work properly with 7.x without modification.

True. He started by saying he was using the latest version... so I was basing it off of that.

14

Probably PHP 7.3 will not work properly with latest 4.9.3. SP1, right?

This is a question for CS Cart team.

16

would it be a problem to run different PHP versions under different domains - stores (for testing purposes) for one CS ULT instalation?

Should be fine. We do this under Multi-PHP in WHM/Cpanel all the time.
