PHP-Version depending issues

  • Hi there,

    depending on which PHP Version I set, I get different kind of issues:

    PHP 8.0 and 8.1:
    When I submit an application, the spinner image doesn’t stop spinning. As an applicant, I get the impression that the form has not been sent.
    When sending, an entry is created in WordPress for an application received, but no e-mail is sent to the specified recipient e-mail.

    Setting PHP 7.4 the situation is reversed:
    The form is sent and the applicant receives the stored text that the application has been sent.
    In this case, the e-mail arrives at the recipient, but no database entry is created for the application received.

    Regards
    Roland

    Hello,

    I unfortunately have the same problem. As I found out, it is altogether due to the fact that php 8 treats some things as errors that previously only gave a warning.

    In the php file for sending the mail notifications, there is a problem with the processing of arrays that do not return an array but a string.

    I think an update is needed here to fix the problem. Unfortunately, the last update was 8 months ago. Is there any chance that an update can be expected soon?

    It seems that Blueglass doesn’t support this plugin anymore. They do not respond on any of the support threads and answers only come from other users.
    I opened a thread here with an PHP 8 issue 10 month – no response.
    As PHP 7.4 stops getting security releases as of 11/28/2022, I will have to replace this plugin to be able to upgrade to PHP 8.1.

    Yes, I have the feeling that it is no longer supported. I had already written directly to Blueglass (in Switzerland), it took a while and I got an answer… since I wrote it in German, I quote it here in German:

    “Wir m?chten darauf hinweisen, dass das Plugin kostenlos & open source ist. Es darf somit frei verwendet werden, jedoch besteht durch die reine Verwendung kein Anspruch auf Support.

    Natürlich k?nnen wir bei Bedarf Support bieten und/oder individuelle Erweiterungen/Anpassungen realisieren. Dementsprechend würden wir dann den Aufwand in einem ersten Schritt kommunizieren und diesen dann anschliessend verrechnen.”

    Now I’m testing another plugin

    First update from my tests:
    I finally did update our staging to php 8.1.x and I did not get any errors. All functions work as expected.
    Submit form including uploaded file -> send via mail to our HR department.

    All of you should check these points:

    • is you wp install successully sending mails? like reset password
    • can the file be save to the webserver location you selected in your settings?
      • tested “WP Media” -> worked for me (ok for me since we use the GDPR option to not save anything in WP)
      • “Secure location” : can not test that at the moment. I just moved to docker deployments and dont have the time to customize the internal workings of that config
