(1/1) FatalThrowableError Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)

Just upgraded to 4.5.32 through Softaculous on cPanel - now get this error when trying to connect. Where can I download the previous version to install so that we can continue working? I don’t have tech skills to try and fix this and urgently need to invoice and view invoices.

Hi,

PHP 7.4 isn’t supported, you need to changed to 7.3

3

Thank you, will contact hosting provider to do that.
In meanwhile is there any way I can revert to previous version or download previous version so that we can carry on working?

Webserver shows:

  • PHP version: 7.3.6
5

Are you using a phpinfo file to check the version?

I believe Softaculous supports reverting to a previous version

6

Version info from Web server settings shown on phpmyadmin
Softaculous doesn’t offer any other versions for InvoiceNinja.

You may want to setup a phpinfo file, many webhost have separate CLI and web php versions.

If you want to manually downgrade you can download the last version here:

Hosting company has resolved the issue.
Which takes me to the original reason I tried to update the software - having searched the forum I have found the problem which is Mac Big Sur / Safari / pdf preview. Switched to Opera and all good.
Thank you for your prompt assistance.
