@Sanjeev Why I should use a PHP version that will deprecated in just some months?
I use PHP 7.4 as some updated software on my server require now the most updated version and is not PHP 8 that is the latest one but PHP 7.4
PHP 7.3 is still supported but quite old and is near the end of life.
If PHP 7.4 is not supported I cannot use your patch.
I use UvDesk with PHP 7.4 has no sense for me that you made a patch and this one is not compatible.
PHP 7.3 will be no more supported in about 8 months so some web application I use has been moved to PHP 7.4 that is not new but is supported for more long time.
If UVdesk is not compatible with PHP 7.4 this should have the priority to resolve, fix and the next PHP that will be after that will be PHP 8.0 already released but not yet fully supported by different applications. They are working on compatibility.
If you are for releasing a new version not compatible with PHP 7.4 I will be unable to update... also how long we should wait for have another update with PHP compatibility if you will release an update after different months not yet compatible with PHP 7.4 that is at the moment the best solution on my point of view looking at the end of life date?!
Also in those days jQuery has been updated but I cannot update in UVdesk because code seems need to be updated as well... so I suppose there are some old code that is or will be soon not compatible with PHP recent versions.
Currently I'm using PHP 7.4 that is not old and not too new.
My issue will be how update the instance on my server, not in localhost. If work in localhost is ok but doesn't solve the issue on my server.
Did you test with PHP 7.4?
