    Thank you. This issue appears to be related to an older PHP version. We’ve updated the code to ensure compatibility with PHP 7.4. However, please note that in the future, we will likely raise the minimum PHP requirement to PHP 8.1. We recommend planning to upgrade your server’s PHP version accordingly.

    its sort of embarrassing to learn your PHP is obsolete on a public forum. but at least i am among friends😳.

    It’s quite common for websites to run on an older version of PHP. Many hosting providers don’t offer upgrades proactively, and you often have to request it yourself. So there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
