I just upgraded from php74 to the latest php85. It's a big jump and a lot of different coding updates. I'll keep testing and tweaking - but if you see anything let me know.

Yeah - I'm very relieved - we were using php7.4

Active Support Ended: November 28, 2021 (No new features or bug fixes were added after this date).
Security Support Ended: November 28, 2022 (Official security patches stopped, marking the complete end of life).

So happy we moved to php8.5 without too many major glitches. ChatGPT thought it would take weeks, but only took a few days,

I'm coding up a storm! It's very freeing not to have to rely on developers anymore. When we had our last server update - we never got our development server working - now I got this functioning again as well as an in between staging server.

I hope to role out some new features soon!

I know how sucky it is to work without any kind of dev or staging server, so kudos to you for getting it back and running and making such a big upgrade without any issues for most of us.
