Hi Guy,
​
There is a thread here which shows a fix for this error in CFv5. I can't see that it has been previously reported for CFv7 but the error message should tell you in which line of code it occurs.
​
In general I don't think that Max has yet updated CFv7 to be fully compatible with PHP v8.

Hello
​
Thanks, is it this? :
​
REPLACE
create_function('$k,$v', 'return $k.":".$v;')
with
function($k, $v) {return $k.":".$v;}
​
Kind regards,
Guy

This is not in CFv7, in which file did you make the change ?

I didn't make any change yet. I need help in this one, because i can't do it myself :-(;
Can i give my login?
​
Greets,

I set it back to 7.4 at the moment. Please help me out. Many thanks.

This is the error:

Hi
​
What version of Chronofoms?
Only Chronoforms V7 works under PHP8.
​
JROOT/components/com_chronoforms/libraries path doesn't exists in CF7.

Bob or admin?

Hi Guy,
​
Please see Colnem's question in this thread.
​
Bob

I think version 3

7 is installed too but no forms in that

It is version 3 i think

Version 3 of Chronoforms (!!!) or version 3 of Joomla?

It's the latest version of Joomla 3 and this version of Chronoforms: 4.0.8

OK

Hello, when i activate php 8 on my hosting instead of 7.4, my contactform doesn't work anymore.

So, this version is not compatible with PHP8. Only CF7 works with PHP8.
​
You have3 possibilities:
1 - Don't change your version of PHP
2 - Install CF7 and rewrite all your forms.
3 - Find another extension compatible with PHP8.
​
Bye

7.4 will disappear. I like chronoforms, i prefer cf7, but i really need help of transferring my contactform to cf7.

PHP 7.4 will not disappear. It will not be updated... But it's better to use PHP8 and Joomla 4.
