PHP and Cutenews
Php and Cutenews: backwards compatible
I use Cutenews and have done so for several years. But owing to PHP headpeople backwards compatiblity is no longer supported. My largest website is freshfordsomerset.co.uk it has important material that will not be accessible, unless I pay my host monthly charges amounting to over £80 a year for extended support. The website is not a commercial project and I cannot afford to continue with it. Perhaps there is no real need to have extended support from the host? Since the website runs from Cute news which is a php powered site. The user does not have to write php to its site. In the past I have completed websites for a client and all they need is to access the Cutenews file. I do not even think that the PHP can be altered by the user. At present Cutenews development is stuck because a PHP8 Cutenews version does not exist yet. Yet without backwards compatability, users will be held up whilst Cutenews is updated, or possibly not. What I need to know is wether I can convince my host that extended support is not required.
