WHMCS have encoded with Ioncube for PHP 5.2!
I just upgraded my server running newest WHMCS version from PHP 5.4.23 to PHP 5.5.7. I installed the Ioncube loaders 4.5.0 wich IS compatible with PHP 5.5.x - however it is needed that the encoded files from WHMCS is encoded with ioncube encoder for PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4 - however it seems WHMCS newest version is encoded with Ioncube encoder for PHP 5.2!
So my WHMCS installation does not work because of this, and give errors like this in apache usage log:
[Sun Dec 22 07:59:53.501234 2013] [:error] [pid 29929] [client xx.xx.xx.xx:53712] PHP Fatal error: The file /home/USER/domains/DOMAIN.COM/private_html/clientarea.php was encoded by the ionCube Encoder for PHP 5 and cannot run under PHP 5.5.\n Please ask the provider of the script to provide a version encoded with either the ionCube Encoder for PHP 5.3 or for PHP 5.4. in Unknown on line 0
I am so frustrated by WHMCS, and they make me so ANGRY! But I am not surprised.
In long term I want to move to Blesta, but it takes time.

I think WHMCS doesn't even officially support PHP 5.5 yet. Their requirements page still lists 5.4.x as the highest version they support:
http://docs.whmcs.com/System_Requirements
I recall reading that at least as of several months ago, some work was still required for PHP 5.5 support in their codebase.█ Othio Hosting - Private-Label cPanel Reseller Hosting

My WHMCS installation works fine on PHP 5.4.x, there is no changes in PHP 5.5.x that will create problems, it will work just fine on PHP 5.5.x
WHMCS do not need to change any of the PHP code for it to work on PHP 5.5.x, however they NEED to use Ioncube encoder for PHP 5.3 or PHP 5.4 for the Ioncube loaders for PHP 5.5.x to work.
But those morons at WHMCS is still encoding the files using Ioncube encoder for PHP 5.2! Fxxxck them!
Here is a quote from the ioncube forum: http://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?p=10113#10113
Version 4.5 loader packages are now available from our Loaders Page (http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php) and include loaders for PHP 5.5.
As previously mentioned, the PHP 5.5 loaders will run PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 encoded files and are available for Unix-style platforms such as Linux, OS X and FreeBSD.

Look, if its not supported on their website then YOU are being unreasonable for expecting it to work on 5.5.
Setup your server the way they require and stop complaining because you are not following their requirements.
As far as I am aware, if they encode higher than people with 5.2 have issues (and there is LOTS).
Nice and bold:

I am complaining because WHMCS is encoding their files using Ioncube encoder for EOL PHP 5.2.x. All they need to do for me to be able to run PHP 5.5.x is to offer files encoded with Ioncube encoder for PHP 5.3. Why should I not complain, there is a new major PHP version out every year, and there is more then 6 months since PHP 5.5.x was released as stable. I have all reason to be angry for paying for this garbage software until I am able to migrate to Blesta.

I have a problem with people who complain about something not working when the website itself says it will not work.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration55.deprecated.php
The original MySQL extension is now deprecated, and will generate E_DEPRECATED errors when connecting to a database. Instead, use the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extensions.
To fully work with 5.5 will require some rewrite. Its not cut and dry like you think it is.Steven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com

You are wrong about that, it will not create problems. It is only deprecated, and it will continue to work. People can setup error reporting the way they want. It will not be a problem until the next major PHP version.

I think you are being completely unreasonable. They do not want to support a version of php that will promote errors. Just because it will 'work' does not mean its the right thing to do as much as you think it is.
End of the day, if you don't like it don't use it. Complaining and getting angry is pointless.

Ok, so lets agree to disagree, I think it is WHMCS that is not up with the times, and I am frustrated about that. I will not be able to move to Blesta until I have developed some custom extensions, and it will take time.

Guess what. Even if WHMCS updated to mysqli there are countless plugins that they do not maintain that hard code mysql_* that would break.
Its not as simple as just updating the code, there is alot of things that can break.
Don't put all the blame on WHMCS. They are doing the sensible thing and not breaking everyones installation.Steven Ciaburri | Industry's Best Server Management - Rack911.com

I agree with Steven, WHMCS does not support PHP 5.5 yet as it's clearly written here:
http://docs.whmcs.com/System_Requirements
Code:Note: PHP Version 5.5 is not supported at this time.

What does Kayako have to do with any of this? Of course WHMCS is not the only one that is living in the stone age, however this thread was about WHMCS. I am not using Kayako, and is never going to use them.

about: - I think you need to call it a day and accept that you WILL have to use PHP 5.3.x or 5.4.x. If that's not something you like, no one is stopping you from moving away or building your own software.

Its also my understanding the 5.5 loaders JUST CAME OUT this month. Give WHMCS a break.

How the heck do you consider PHP 5.4 stone age? Your perception of time is seriously screwed up.
