Hi,

I noticed that with the last update of CFv5 when I upload another different CFv5 version form I have problems editing this form in the back end. The problem appears when I save it with any change. Then the setup settings don't save. When It happened I could not view the form in the fronted. I was investigating and I solved the problem changing the php version from 7.1.2 to 5.6.30.

I don't know if there is a bug using CFv5 with php 7.1 version. Could you tell me if I'm right? or do you know another way to fix it by using php 7.1?

Thanks for all.

HI belga,

There are some problems with PHP 7.1 that need to be fixed in a future release of CF.

As far as I know there are no problems with PHP 7.0

PS I had thought that the main problem was a change that required arrays to be specifically declared before use - but I don't see that in the current PHP 7.1 change docs :-(

Have just had a similar problem after updating to php 7.1.2

When I make changes to a form under "setup" onload, onsubmit etc the whole of the setup page data is lost after saving. Fortunately I have kept a recent back-up of the form I wanted to change, but cannot make changes to "setup" until this is resolved...

Any ideas on workarounds (or resolution)? Urgent for me! Many thanks...

Are you able to go back to php7 or 5.6 until v5 is php 7.1 ready ? v6 is almost ready too and it works fine on php7 (not tested on 7.1)

Thanks for a quick response. Rather than go back to php7.0 I'll delay until you have v6, which may work with php7.1. If not, then I can go back to php7.0 and progress with updates on both sides as you develop v6 to work with php7.1 and later

Looking forward to v6!

In the meantime I've got the old back-up restored by copying the "extras" base64 encoded gobbledygook from the back-up row to a new live row in the SQL Joomla database table for ChronoForms. A bit messy, but it works...

Any idea when v6 might be ready? Is it days or weeks?

Hi dzseti,

If all goes well, the first release of v6 should be ready by the next weekend.

Best regards,
Max

Ok thanks for the update - can survive with a workaround until then...
