[Resolved] Highest recommended version of PHP with Toolset

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
There is a minimum required PHP version for Toolset, but is there also a "maximum" supported version?

Solution:
We don't have an official "maximum" PHP version, if issues are discovered or reported with new PHP versions we fix them. The plugins are currently working well with 7.2 versions.

Hi there!
I want to keep my version of PHP up to date to support the various plugins I have running on wellclientapp.com
I ran a tool called PHP Compatibility and while its not definitive, it lists a problem with Toolset Starter evaluated as if the site were running PHP 7.0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
884 | ERROR | Indirect access to variables, properties and methods will be evaluated strictly in left-to-right order since PHP 7.0. Use curly braces to remove ambiguity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the highest version you recommend to run under?

thanks!

Hi there

The Toolset Starter Theme is deprecated and no longer supported.

If you upgrade and find errors you will need to either ignore them if they do not affect the theme functionality, identify the source and make changes yourself, or revert to the last version where you did not see any errors. (It looks like it may be 5.6 from what you report above.)

Thanks Nigel
I will remove the Starter theme and still use Toolset Bootstrap to avoid this
With respect to the latest versions of the plugins, Types, Views and Forms do they support PHP 7+?

thanks!

Yes, they do.
