KitCAD rX XAMPP – PHP 7 ready RADPHP HTML5 Builder RPCL
Click to view
This special rebuild of the Embarcadero distributed XE3 RPCL 5.0/5.1 to version 5.11 removes the conflicts with PHP 7.
The updated RPCL 5.1 code was refactored to remove the Object error, rewrote the ‘easy’ function, and removed phrase error from XAJAX library which solved all other page loading issues.
Because the RPCL code can be reused on existing RPCL projects – this update is only available as an archive file format.
KitCAD i3 rX with PHP 7 XAMPP users will need to extract the ZIP file into the folder ofC:\xampp\htdocs\library\i3\
Download/s: KitCADi3rX_RPCL_PHP7_XAMPP.* (ZIP | 7Z)
After Installing the above, see the php 7 ready XAJAX update (see entire post for more information)
Note: Only modified files/folder are included – the special build will update 5.1 version RPCL. The special build RPCL version may only work with a limited number of PHP 7 versions and it not designed for previous PHP 5 or future PHP 8 versions.
