Which PHP Version to use?

I have just logged into my Hosting company's website and got this message:-

Please note that PHP version 5.4 is end of life. Please update to a later version as soon as possible.

The options are Version 5.6, 7.0 or 7.1

I haven't got a clue which one to choose so I contacted the hosting company who said I should choose the latest version (7.1) as long as it is compatible with Xara WD and I would have to speak to Xara to find out.

Would anybody know the answer to this.

Thanks in advance.

Do any of your Xara websites use PHP?
If not, Xara is not bothered.

I think I am on PHP 7.1 already.

Hi Acorn,

I haven’t got a clue, but the hosting company says I have to update and I didn’t want to cause any problems.
I will take the chance and update to 7.1

Thanks.

Updated to 7.1 and no problems

Thanks.

Thanks for the update Ian.
