cron.php error

Hi Greg,

It looks like this is a new error in PHP 7.4. You can patch this by updating this line in /cmsb/cron.php (at or near line 109):

$jobLastRunTime    = strtotime($jobLastLogRecord['createdDate']);

To this:

$jobLastRunTime    = strtotime($jobLastLogRecord['createdDate']??false);

As well, a related issue in /cmsb/lib/menus/admin/backgroundTasks.php (at or near line 294):

echo prettyDate( $latestLog['createdDate'] );

can be replaced with:

echo prettyDate( $latestLog['createdDate']??false );

These fixes will also be included in the next release of CMSB, so you won't have to worry about these fixes being overwritten by future upgrades.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

Are you guys currently testing CMSB with PHP version 7.4? I'm thinking of holding off updating my server from 7.3 to 7.4 until you confirm it's safe for me to do so...

Thanks as always for the excellent support.

Regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,

That's correct - we are hoping to get a version out soon that cleans up these notices, so in the meantime, we recommend folks stick with PHP 7.3 if they're able to do so.

Cheers,
