Answered Articles on PHP7

Hi all - Does Articles and all the bundled addons work on PHP7?

It does for me.

I am getting server errors when someone tries to add a comment to my Articles blog on PHP7 running MODx 2.6.5 on latest version of Articles...

Error I see in the Apache log is:

[Thu Aug 16 20:23:59.359005 2018] [:error] [pid 2309] [client XX.XXX.XXX.X:XXXXX] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string() in /core/model/modx/rest/modrestclient.class.php:236\nStack trace:\n#0 /core/model/modx/rest/modrestclient.class.php(220): modRestResponse->toXml()\n#1 /core/model/modx/rest/modrestclient.class.php(138): modRestResponse->__construct(Object(modRestClient), '<response succe...', 'xml')\n#2 /core/components/quip/model/stopforumspam/stopforumspam.class.php(62): modRestClient->request('http://www.stop...', 'api', 'GET', Array)\n#3 /core/components/quip/model/stopforumspam/stopforumspam.class.php(36): StopForumSpam->request(Array)\n#4 /core/components/quip/processors/web/comment/create.php(71): StopForumSpam->check('86.189.153.3', 'name@example...')\n#5 /core/components/quip/model/quip/request/quipcontroller.class.php(130): include('/srv/te in /core/model/modx/rest/modrestclient.class.php on line 236, referer: https://www.example.com/*/blog-post-reply.html?quip_thread=article-b32-577&quip_parent=365

Any ideas on a fix?

Lots of advice here (maybe too much).

You've got me wondering if my blog has the same problem. I haven't seen that error, but then hardly anyone ever leaves a comment.
