Error 500 with PHP 7.3
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I have a Joomla website that runs correctly if .htaccess in root specifies PHP7.1 i.e.:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php71 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
However, if I specify PHP 7.3 in root one component fails with Error 500.
As PHP 7.1 is being withdrawn in December by my service provider (Siteground) I need to resolve this issue so the whole site will run PHP 7.3 or later without a fatal error.
I am in the process of upgrading the website and replacing an aging component which has not been updated to run a PHP version later than 7.1. However, this may not be achieved by December hence my need to find a solution for this as a short-term fix. I do not wish to move from Siteground.
I'm hoping that someone can identify the source of the error and provide a code fix.
With Error 500 I have no means of identifying what code is failing.
