Fix to enable php upgrade beyond 5.6?

  • I am unable to upgrade php beyond version 5.6 because if I do (and WP would like me to) I get an error due to the WP-pro-quiz plugin.

    Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /home2/tlnet/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-pro-quiz/lib/helper/WpProQuiz_Helper_Until.php on line 127

    I understand I should be able to modify the plugin to use square brackets but if I were (able) to do that would I then have to rewrite all my quizzes?
    I am not a programmer or developer, just a user.
    Any advice gratefully received

  • I run this plugin on two different websites both running PHP 7.2. I had to hire a programmer to update the WP-Pro-Quiz plugin code to be able to handle the update. I would recommend that anyone trying to upgrade beyond 5.6 do the same. Many benefits running newer PHP versions.

    Glad you fixed it. Could you put me in touch with your programmer? Costs?

    @dprm Hi, I am running my website on PHP 7.3 without any problem. It’s just a warning.

    I don’t recall the cost but I don’t believe it was very expensive. My programmer is really good. I use a company called Edge Webware. https://edgewebware.com/

    Tell them that Carl Borsani sent you.

    Best of luck

    Hi @dprm you can contant me for this, would love to do that for you.

    @dprm Hey, the only thing to do is replacing the curly braces “{}” with square brackets “[ ]” in the file on the line 127. I remember there was another line to change.
    Exemple : change $c = $format{$c}; to $c = $format[$c];

    Since PHP 7.4 the curly braces are deprecated.

    Hope that helps.

    Cheers
