Freescout: Ldap and PHP-7.4-fpm

[ichabot]

Hi,

Freescout will not work with the php-7.4 implementations because a function is deprecated:

Function ldap_control_paged_result() is deprecated

will you change that in a further update?

[freescout-helpdesk]

No plans for now. LDAP module works with PHP 7.3 or less.

the Problem is, when i use older verions of php i always get memory leaks from laravel

No plans for now. LDAP module works with PHP 7.3 or less.

That's odd given that 7.3 lost active support status and will be EOL by the end of this year. It will only get critical security updates.

We'd rather wait for https://github.com/Adldap2/Adldap2-Laravel to be made compatible with PHP 8 and after that update LDAP module. Maybe in a year or two.

Does this PHP compatibility stance also apply to the rest of FreeScout?

[freescout-helpdesk]

Just to this module for now.

ADLDAP2-Laravel will no longer be updated. Development has moved to ldaprecord-laravel

I have downgraded the Docker Image to operate on PHP 7.3 for the time being.

Thanks for the info.

LDAP module v1.0.13 is compatible with PHP 7.4 now.

It looks as if LDAP module will need to be refreshed to support PHP 8.0 now. I'm receiving reports PHP8 and up is failing with the LDAP Module as noted here: https://github.com/tiredofit/docker-freescout/issues/50

[freescout-helpdesk]

We'll check it.
