K2 image upload not working with PHP 7.4 was created by Jennie Dawson
Hi,

I moved a new site I've just completed to PHP version 7.4 but when I tried to add an image to a K2 item under the image tab, it failed to upload. I tried other images and they failed too. There was a warning message but unfortunately it was behind the 'Item saved' message so unable to read it all - see attachment.

I tried logging in from Chrome (I was using Firefox) and that didn't help.

I reverted the site back to PHP 7.2 and tried again, and it then worked fine and the image was uploaded.

Joomla version is 3.9.12
K2 version is 2.10.2

Many thanks
Jennie

Are you using any third-party plugins for K2 perhaps?

K2 is tested and working with PHP up to 7.4.

Hi Fotis

I've not installed any third party k2 extensions, this is just a basic site and I wanted to use k2 for a blog. I've attached the FPA report if that helps.

URL: www.mindfell.co.uk/blog

It could just be that I need to enable a PHP setting in cPanel maybe? I've also attached screenshot of settings. I enabled the 2 under 'N' as previously when I tried to switch to 7.4 on a Joomla site it didn't work at all. A search suggested this fix but I only just got around to trying it.

I have another site I can test this on which is currently running on 7.4.

Many thanks
Jennie

You definitely need GD.

However, I wound strongly recommend installing most, only excluding the ones you KNOW you won't use, e.g. mongodb, redis, newrelic etc.

Thank you Fotis,

Enabling the GD php extension sorted this.

I love the way you think that I would know which ones were not needed! I've searched for a list of recommended php extensions for Joomla but got nowhere. I did find one for Wordpress! Even where there are tooltips explaining it, it doesn't make me any the wiser! I tried enabling one that looked like it would be needed, but it refused saying it would conflict. I think I'd have to google every one, maybe when I have a spare afternoon, ahem!

I've never had to touch these before, the default setup always seems to have worked in the past.

Thank you for your help
Best wishes
Jennie

Try my suggestions. Enable them all EXCEPT redis, mongodb, newrelic, luasandbox, mysqli (that's correct, you use the newer module already which is mysqlnd), odbc.

If you get a specific conflict error, share it back with us and I'll tell you what to do.

Either some dependency is missing from your server's setup or MIME detection does not properly work. Or you have some "security" extension which stupidly blocks uploads.
