Issue

Thank you very much for SuiteCRM! I hope this is the right place to raise this issue, please let me know if I should raise it somewhere else.

Since newer Linux distributions like Fedora Server 40 only ship PHP 8.3, I'm wondering: what is the status of PHP 8.3 support? What are your plans?

I've tried it and quickly ran into things like the Duplicate declaration of static variable $sfh (also mentioned here), which seems to be caused by PHP 8.3 being much stricter and treating warnings as errors now.

Possible Fix

No response

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Install SuiteCRM 7.14.4 on Fedora Server 40 (with PHP 8.3 and no other option available)

Context

I've installed SuiteCRM on Fedora Server 39, then updated it to 40 and discovered that SuiteCRM does not run any more. I've then rolled back the update. We'll get updates for Fedora 39 up until November, I'll need to find a solution for afterwards.

Version

7.14.4

What browser are you currently using?

Firefox

Browser Version

Firefox 128

Environment Information

PHP 8.3

Operating System and Version

Fedora Server 40

This is certainly doable with the official guide for code running on PHP 8.2 what to modify to make it run on PHP 8.3.

Hi team,

Do we have any updates on this issue?

We are currently preping to upgrade from 7.12 to 7.14 and would prefer to push forward directly to PHP 8.3.

Thanks,
