The PHP 8 release is going to be huge, and in some sense, you could say it's a whole new language. There is a feeling that more can be done to promote it more extensively.

HOPEFULLY that does not mean it's as much of a cock-up as Python 2 to Python 3 changes. Personally I think this simply reinforces my thought that I will simply stick with PHP7 for as long as I can. I'm still running 7.2 live, and working through the code changes to get 7.3 running without warnings and since I'm reliant on Firebird I now have to manually build modules anyway so securing a private build I can maintain myself seems the right way forward. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - https://lsces.uk/wiki/Contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - https://lsces.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - https://medw.uk Rainbow Digital Media - https://rainbowdigitalmedia.uk
