Hello,
I had an issue upgrading my PHP to 8.4. Rod indicated I needed to enable modules that wee giving me issues. All was working fine, and I was able to log into Backlight to make updates to my title page.
Yesterday I went in to Backlight to do another update and got an error. Pasted below.
I tried to go back to PHP 8.3 and all is working agin.
I do not know how to resolve this (or really what it means).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
I reported a similar error a few days ago. I believe Ben is working on it. Looks to be a fairly big change.
You had a much easier time reverting back than I did. I envy you.
Force an update on all modules to get the current version. For compatibility issues like this, @Ben sometimes makes silent updates which means that the version number doesn’t change. I remember that he just recently made a change. Check if updating the modules helps.
Hi all, I am working on this. There are a couple of dozen instances in the code that I need to fix. The issue at hand is that the best fix uses syntax that requires at least version 7.1. Our posted minimum requirements are PHP 5.6, but we have no way of knowing whether anybody is running Backlight 6 on such an old version.
Hi @jackm, we’ve released an update to Backlight, version 6.3.3, that addresses these compatibility issues with PHP 8.4. Please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any further issues.
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the update.
I installed 6.3.3 and moved back to PHP 8.4.
All working fine.
Thanks again for your help.

No problem, @jackm. I have found one more item that needed fixing, and applied a silent update. Can you visit the Backlight Modules page and reinstall module-framework?
Hi Ben,
Thanks for the update info.
I have reinstalled module-framework.
