Magento 1.9.x and PHP Version

[lucablue]

Hi all,

I'm ready to transfer Magento 1.9.x from old server to the newone but I'd like to know about the php version I've to set.

Is it compatible with 7.0 or 7.1 version? ( also to think about a future update to newer magento versions) or I need to set to 5.6?

Thank  you all

Hi @lucablue,

Using this module https://github.com/Inchoo/Inchoo_PHP7 you'll be fine with PHP 7. Read all the information before move to LIVE (you'll find a shell class to validate code that may be incompatible)

Hi,

thank you, so without this module the 1.9.x version si only compatible with 5.x php version, is right?

Thank you again

Yes, you're right.

Hi @lucablue,

Yes, you're right.

Also, now Magento provides a support patch to allow Magento 1.9 to be compatible with PHP 7.2 so maybe you can try that one.

Remember that the patch works for Magento core and not for 3rd-party modules.

Hi,

thank you for answer but it's too late. My client is passed on PrestaShop.
