Is php 5.4 supported?

In their infinite wisdom, 1&1 have just upgraded php from 5.2 to 5.4, now none of my forms work!
Luckilly, for now, I can roll back the version to 5.2 (yay! working forms again!), but in April they are not offering any other version than 5.4.
Is there an update available as I can't see anything in my downloads area?

I'm running 5.3 and all is fine. I would think 5.4 would be fine also. Maybe Scott will chime in and give his take on the issue.:)

Looks like they have just removed some of the syntax you can use, reading through the documentation with my hugely limited php head on!

There should be no issues. I have a test server with PHP 5.4 and it runs just fine.

So it might just be a local server issue with the upgrade. What does your error log say?

It will take about a minute to submit the form, then redirects to a page saying "Your email could not be sent, please contact your administrator"

Setting the php to 5.2 the form sends instantly

Dan,

Just to give you another perspective....

I too am using 1and1 and after reading your post I went and checked the php version I was using... it was 5.2.17.... it appears as if it did not 'force' 5.4 on me.

I then tested 5.4 on one of my forms and it performed as it should have... no problems at all.

That's a bit weird.
My main account which I have about 15 servers with, all of them had been changed to 5.4 and none worked.
But I have a few clients sites that I look after that have their own accounts, and all theirs are still set as 5.2.
Just waiting for 1&1 technical support to reply too....................

The error log I'm speaking of will appear in you form directory. it will be call error.log.
I open mine by changing the name to error.txt with the html editor then open it in the editor. This should give you some ammo to help solve the problem.:)

All of a sudden I am getting these errors on my sites like this one. Using PHP 5.4 and Revision: 2456 of web form builder. Do you have any idea what could be causing this error? The files are there. Should I open a new ticket instead?

Thank you
