The only reason VB 4 even works with PHP 7.1 is because of the efforts of Paul M. Otherwise I would suspect IB would have laid it to rest much sooner leaving it forever on PHP 5. Many of the addons were written in the PHP 5 days which was when this place was actually bustling with activity. With the purchase of the platform and the release of VB5, much development for VB4 ceased leaving many addons abandoned and never upgraded. I believe DB addons will work with PHP 7.1 but beyond that, I highly doubt it with out some tinkering of the code.

In all honesty if your going to update VB and your addons to PHP 7.3 you really should just go to PHP 7.4 The only really good outcome is that you do not need a VB developer and any competent PHP developer/coder can easily adapt the code accordingly.

Yeah it sucks cause I like vB 4.2

I am running this vB 4.2.5 on PHP 7.3 http://www.ironmaglabs.com/forums/

I don't even have the option for PHP 7.1 or 7.4 in cPanel, only 7.2 and 7.3?
