i try to change php version from ovh panel to php 7 but doesn't work mybb...
MyBB 1.8 isn't 100% supported on PHP 7 yet. This is a well known, well documented fact.
Ok...so i will stay with 5.6

This is not correct. In fact this forum runs on PHP 7.0 for several months without any issues. However some plugins may not be compatible with PHP 7.0.
7.0 should be okay, 7.1 maybe not as we haven't had a chance to patch some newer issues yet. It's not like it doesn't run at all though, any errors that do exist are quite minor and localised.

Currently the only remaining issue is https://github.com/mybb/mybb/issues/2645 - a fix for which has been merged and will be included in MyBB 1.8.11.

PHP 7.0 is fully compatible (over 6 months on php 7.0 without nay issue), PHP 7.1.x could bring some issues - feel free to tell us any issue to solve this in the next release Smile

I'm sorry, I should rephrase: not all plugins are 7.0 compatible, so if you're running a board witg 45 plugins, upgrading may not be for you at the moment.
45 plugins at once? Wau... thats a lot, mainly with a lot of users (100k and more) - what is your loading speed and server load?

Mine?

I don't use MyBB - I write my own - so quite low.

You'd be surprised how many sites run a stupid amount of redundant plugins (that duplicate core functionality), though.
