I upgraded to OpenEMR 5.0.0.3 in October '17 (Windows 7 x64), and installed the 5.0.0.8 patch successfully today. I wanted to install the latest ICD-10 code set, but when invoking the Administration > Other > Database sequence, I get the error message “PHP 5.5+ is required”. I seem to have PHP version 5.4.16 installed, dated the same day as I did the upgrade to version 5 last October.
I see that PHP is up to version 7.2.4, and is available in .x86 and x64 flavors, both thread safe and non-thread safe.
Which version should I install, and what is the best mechanism to do it without breaking everything else?
Thanks
