MachForm 19 Released. PHP 8.2 Compatibility.
Howdy folks!
PHP 8.2 was officially released to general availability on November 24, 2022. It is a major update of the PHP language and contains many new features and performance improvements.
Today, we’re happy to let you know that we’ve just released MachForm 19, which is fully compatible with PHP 8.2.
The new version of MachForm (version 19) is now available for download on Billing Area.
PHP & MySQL Version Requirement
MachForm v19 requires the minimum version of PHP on your server to be at least PHP 7.4 and MySQL version at least MySQL 5.7. If you’re still using older version, you’ll need to upgrade your PHP and/or MySQL version first.
We strongly recommend upgrading due to improved compatibility and bugfixes within this release.
