Re: Plans for Magento 1.x with PHP 5.6 and 7.0 EOL in Dec 2018?

Thanks @Damian Culotta but this doesn't explicitly mention PHP only the Magento code.
I don't know if PHP support can be assumed?

Re: Plans for Magento 1.x with PHP 5.6 and 7.0 EOL in Dec 2018?

I came across this PDF today regarding the M1.x & support for PHP 7.2: https://partnermarketing.magento.com/ResourceFiles/492a9f5e-5f2b-4d45-b387-937a318c36a8.pdf

 

Q: How does PHP 5.6 end-of-life impact Magento 1 merchants?

Due to the end of support of PHP 5.6 on December 31, 2018 (see: http://php.net/supportedversions.php), Magento 1 merchants should upgrade to a more current version of PHP for compliance reasons. PHP 7.2 is the only version currently supported beyond the Magento 1 end of software support date (June 2020), so we are planning to release patches for Magento Commerce 1.14.2+ and Open Source 1.9.2+ that will support PHP 7.2. The timing of these patches is still TBD, but they will be released before the PHP 5.6 end-of-life date.

 

Not sure why that info isn't part of the "Supporting Magento 1 through June 2020" post. It might as well just link the more detailed PDF, IMO. @sherrie @philwinkle @SonjaRiesterer

Yes I can confirm that this is the case .

 

I've heard about unofficial chatter about this (but wasn't allowed to share it until it's confirmed) and this document made it official .

Re: Plans for Magento 1.x with PHP 5.6 and 7.0 EOL in Dec 2018?

I understand about having to wait until it's officially announced.

 

One thing I'd like clarity about: If a M1 security update is released after the PHP 7.2 patch, are those new security updates going to continue to be compatible with PHP 5.6?

 

Thanks

Hi!

 

As a (maybe) closing answer, a friendyl reminder that yesterday the patch for PHP 7.2 was released: https://magento.com/tech-resources/download#download2240

 

Now we have almost 2 years of official support to plan the next step of those stores using Magento 1.

Re: Plans for Magento 1.x with PHP 5.6 and 7.0 EOL in Dec 2018?

Is there any tutorial how to apply this new patch they released?

Because i tried to use SH command and i got error diff --git unrecognized command.

Tried PATCH command and got some input errors. And realized that the patch file has no extension ( no format ).

Re: Plans for Magento 1.x with PHP 5.6 and 7.0 EOL in Dec 2018?

If you see "diff --git" in the patch file, it's a "git diff" output because the --git option doesn't exist.

 

Use "git apply" to apply that type of patch.

 

Seemed to apply fine when tested on stock 1.9.3.9.
