pChart not rendering after update to PHP

[Roger Hicks]

I have developed a website (www.rookeries.uk) incorporating pchart. This have been live now for 18-months. A recent upgrade of PHP (from 7.0 to 7.2) has resulted in the pcharts not being rendered and a blank page being displayed. If i remove the pchart from a page, the page is correctly displayed (minus the chart).

I used Netbeans to develop the website and the charts are still displayed in this environment.

What do I need to change to get pchart to work with PHP 7.2.

Thanks

I ran into issues going from PHP 5.6 to 7.1 and was sad to see there's no update to fix this.

However I used XDebug to step through the code and see what the hangup was. In my case I was able to fix it by changing just 2 lines:

pData.class before:

   function pData()
    {
     $this->Data                           = "";
     $this->DataDescription                = "";

pData.class after:

   function pData()
    {
     $this->Data                           = array();
     $this->DataDescription                = array();

Hope this helps in your case as well
