Cellproject upgrade PHP version used #10

Closed steinmb closed 3 years ago

steinmb commented 5 years ago

The site use PHP 5.2.x that is now longer a maintained version and we should stop using it. Even the entire PHP 5.x branch is reaching EOL. https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php

Suggested fix

PHP 7.1

The best thing would be to move to 7.1. But, before doing so, Drupal core and all 3-part modules AND libraries must be updated to latest version. Upgrade to latest minor version (generation) for those that req. that. The site then re-tested before live deploy.

PHP 5.6

Minimum move. We should be able to move to 5.6.x, and that should be fine even with the current state of cell Drupal core and 3-part modules, though I should always be tested first in a dev. install first.

PHP 7.2

Drupal core 7.59 and PHP 7.2.x is not 100% supported. Those issues have been addressed in Drupal 7.60 but this release have not yet been released.

How to verify

Moving to ELMCIP application stack. Minimum 7.2.x is used. Test locally on 7.2.33.
