Magento has released a patch that provides support for PHP 7.2.x for Magento Commerce 1.14.2.x and 1.14.3.x, as well as Magento Open Source 1.9.2.x and 1.9.3.x Going forward, support for PHP 7.2 will be included as part of the Magento Commerce 1.14.4.0 and Magento Open Source 1.9.4.0 releases, which are currently scheduled for late 2018.

Important note: While this patch resolves compatibility issues with the core Magento code, you must also update any extensions and customizations.

Testing Magento patches

Magento have run a series of tests with these patches but no testing can cover every single scenario. Therefore, as with any changes applied to a live site, we always recommend testing these first on a test or staging area and then always ensuring full backups are taken before moving ahead on your live site. Before changing the account to PHP 7.2, ensure you check and test all third party components are also compatible with PHP 7.2
