I applied that fix at that time when Ken kindly released it to the community! At that time, I upgraded to PHP 5.6.
Yesterday, I upgraded PHP to version 7.2 and all the problems that appeared, were due to missing PHP extensions, needed to run all the scripts.
Unfortunately, when a new major PHP version gets installed (by CPanel in my case), only the basic PHP extensions are installed too! So, many scripts have problems with functions mostly, operated by extensions!
Now, everything looks to be working fine in PHP 7.2.2! Of course I’m constantly checking and applying all the new updates that Ken releases for Saratoga template.
