You just have to make sure you're on the latest version of core and contrib modules. I do not know what Drupal 6's PHP 7 status is, although Drupal 6 support ends 1 March, I believe. Drupal 7 mostly works but has a few test failures we'll be looking into shortly. --Larry GarfieldHi!I know why *we* are still running PHP 5.3 for some sites: they are Drupal6 sites. Last time we checked it, PHP 5.4 gave all kinds of warnings with Drupal6 and PHP 5.3 did not. Legacy sites? Yes, but not that much. We had been waiting for Drupal8 to upgrade, but Drupal8 was postponed and postponed and... (Sorry, Larry). Now it is finally released.Giving everyone until the end of 2017 to update their servers is more than sufficient.Sufficient for what? It is a hard fact that people still run 5.3 version. In fact, 2/3 of sites run EOLed versions.
