From PHP 7.0 to PHP 7.2 in Magento 2.3

[Arpitmittalsqr]

Does PHP 5.6 support Magento 1.9.2.1?

I'm planning to migrate my server from Godaddy to Amazon AWS.

I've configured my server with php7.0 - Ubuntu 16.04 but I realized that Magento 1.9.2.1 isn't going to work with PHP 7.0. So I'll be downgrading it to php5.6 if it's supported.

Please suggest.

Hi @Arpitmittalsqr

AKAIK - officially Magento CE 1.9.2.1 only supports PHP 5.4 and 5.5 officially. And while PHP 5.6 runs it just fine, it saturates log files with multitudes of warning messages.

So i would suggest to downgrade to PHP 5.5 instead of PHP 5.6 version

Refer below links for the same :

Hope it helps !

Hi @Arpitmittalsqr,

Using the Inchoo's module for PHP 7 https://github.com/Inchoo/Inchoo_PHP7 you will be fine.

I'm using it on a few stores and everything works fine.
