I've found it, it's PHP 8.0.9 (cli) (built: Jul 29 2021 14:12:19) ( ZTS Visual C++ 2019 x64 )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.0.9, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

None of the osCommerce versions are compatible with php8. You can try this contribution

@corser28  The stock version(s) of osC were written back when PHP v5.x was current. The people in control of the official osC development never updated osC to run under newer versions of PHP. As such, the stock version(s) of osC will not run under PHP v8.x. In fact, they will have problems running under PHP v7.x also.

Since osC is open source, there a number of people that have taken the official source code, and updated it to run under newer versions of PHP. @Hotclutch mentioned one above. However, these are considered 'forks' from the original code, and the new management here discourages discussing them here.

The new management has announced that a new version (v4.x) of osC will be released 'real soon now', and it is supposed to run under newer versions of PHP.

So, your options are:

1) Stick with the original version of osC, and fall back to an earlier version of PHP. Many web hosts have moved away from earlier versions of PHP, so this may be a problem.

2) Find one of the osC forks which will run under a current version of PHP. Please note that we are not supposed to support any of these forks in this forum.

3) Wait until osC v4.x is released.
