PHP version

Post by JurajB » Wed Mar 06, 2019 1:12 pm

Hi again!
If I pick PHP 7.3 for installation, is there any problem? I think Joomla recommends 7.2

Hi,

I use Joomla 3.9.3 with PHP 7.3. and there is no known issue about this.

But, check that your extensions/modules/plugins are compatible before doing it.

You may have some "Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to 'break'. Did you mean to use 'continue 2' ".

Thanks, my hands are on 7.3, one more question, my host have quite powerful admin features, they also change servers PHP version. Is it ok to switch PHP versions running on the server while joomla installed?

Before you change the PHP version for your site, make sure to check from the cPanel that the necessary PHP extensions have been selected for the new version and that the PHP settings that your host allows you to change are also correct. It would be good to test the process first on a development site, rather than production.
