What is the most current version of PHP that works well with osTicket?

NotionCommotion

I am using php 7.3 with apache and mod_php. osTicket has various issues, and I had to modify osTicket's core scripts to make it work. Instead, I now will be changing to php-fpm and will be installing both php 7.3 for some sites and another version of php specifically for osTicket. What php version should I use for osTicket?

https://docs.osticket.com/en/latest/Getting%20Started/Installation.html

https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket

All of them say 5.6+, with git hub adding 7.2 recommended

Thanks ntozier, The 5.6+ through me off as I typically use 7.3. The github page, however, is quite clear. 7.2 it is!

Actually, 7.2 causes osTicket to complain, yes 7.0 will not. Per change log for https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php:

7.1.0 session_start() now returns FALSE and no longer initializes $_SESSION when it failed to start the session.

What other warningS are you experiencing? I don’t see any on PHP 7.3 and osTicket v1.12.2.

Cheers.

Personally In 7.3 I get this in my php logs a ton:
