The "depends: php 5.6" tag on the phplist website for this plugin needs updating (https://resources.phplist.com/plugin/common).

I updated the plugin today on my php 5.6 install.

My install of PHPList still allowed this plugin to update despite the dependency of php 7.1 not being met on my server running php 5.6, and it broke my install, just leaving me with an error message about php 7.1.

The difficulty is that one part of this plugin requires php 7.1, the inlining of css styles, but most of it does not. I left the dependency at php 5.6 but there is a fairly recent, in February I think, addition to composer to check that the requirement of php 7.1 is met.

If I change the dependency to 7.1 then you won't be able to use the plugin, or you will need to upgrade php. If you are stuck then just remove the CommonPlugin.php file from the plugins directory.

It is the pelago/emogrifier package below that requires php 7.1. I had tried to avoid making that a hard requirement

The plugin now disables that check of the php version. If you had to manually remove the file I mentioned then you should be able to re-install the plugin on the Manage Plugins page.

Oh, right on. With the error, I ended up restoring the complete backup I made before my PHPList core update. I just updated the plugin again after your instruction, and all seems tip-top Magoo. Cheers, Bramley. 🍺
