Summary | 15883: Fatal error: Default value for parameters with a class type hint can only be NULL | ||||
Description | I'm following the installation guidelines at https://manual.limesurvey.org/Installation_-_LimeSurvey_CE I have got as far as "Run the installation script", but when I go to /limesurvey/admin all I get is the following PHP error:
| ||||
Additional Information | This looks like a PHP compatibility issue, due to using scalar type hints, which are only supported in PHP 7. The installation page clearly states that LimeSurvey has a minimum requirement of PHP 5.5.9, in which case this is a compatibility bug. Or, if the minimum version has changed, then this is a documentation bug. | ||||

For LS4 you must use PHP 7. We need to update the manual. Sorry for the confusion. |

Updated manual to reflect requirements of LS4. |
