FreePBX 17 is written for a specific version of PHP: 8.2. You should have no expectations that it will work with any other version of PHP.

Understand. I made this post for someone running into this issue.
But It also would be nice if there is a warning if when the PHP version is not matched with the “specific” ideal version.

Good idea!
