there seems to be more PHP 7.3.0 bugs being reported in PHP 7.3.1 NEWS change log they're prepping so probably use on test forum only and not production live site/forum as yet. PHP 7.3.1 would contain more bug fixes that this patch I did.

 

Use PHP 7.3.0 only on test forum and use PHP 7.2.13 on live forums for now until PHP 7.3.1 is out. This auto patch fix just makes testing Xenforo test forums on PHP 7.3.0 safer but there's probably more bugs in PHP 7.3.0 that will be fixed in 7.3.1

 

I'd at least recompile PHP 7.3.0 with above patch fix for Zend Opcache bug as it can cause data loss.

 

1.5 still has updates for next 5-17 months at least XenForo 1.5 End of Life Schedule. Will be a while still to look at XF 2.x for this forum.
