CWP New backup (beta) - ionCube only for PHP 5

[djprmf]

Hi,

I have notice that the New backup (beta) script is encoded with ionCube, but is only for the PHP 5.x version.
If the PHP of CWP is changed to a more recent version, the backup script will not work.

I think is safe to say that this script should be updated to a more recent version of PHP, since PHP 5.x are in EOL.
Also this have impact in the security of CWP from itself, since if we need to use this Backup Script, then CWP needs to be in PHP 5.x....

Thanks

The issue is that "cron_newbackup.php" is encoded under a old version of ionCube (before PHP 5.x).
If you check the error log, the script outputs that error.

if you select in "PHP Version Switcher" the PHP version 5.6.40, the script runs fine.
If you update to a new version - PHP 7.x - then the script doesn't work.

PHP Version Switcher changes the PHP of CWP, that is where the cron_newbackup.php is running...

Then you probably have to follow the instruction on the 500 error posts.  My version of the backup script is working perfectly fine running on php72 ioncube.  Guessing that file did not get updated in your update..
