@EJL Thanks for posting this issue. **If you’re looking for a quick fix, try switching back from PHP 7.3 to PHP 7.2.** I’ve seen the error you posted, `“continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”`, only happening on PHP 7.3, but I didn’t come across it anymore after the team added support for 7.3 in Mautic 2.16. Did you upgrade to PHP 7.3 before or after upgrading to Mautic 2.16? Could you please give a bit more details about your environment, like the server software you’re using? From the folder structure, may I assume you’re using Plesk for Linux? Thanks in advance!! ---

7.3 was in place on this machine for several months. I upgraded to Mautic 2.16 this afternoon CPU Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2660 v4 @ 2.00GHz 6 core Plesk Obsidian v18.0.23\_build1800200206.14 os\_CentOS 7 CentOS Linux 7.7.1908 (Core) Memory Usage 12 GB Total 53% Usage MariaDB 10.4.12 - Edit\* Changing to PHP 7.2 seemed to fix the error The database field error was unrelated and still present ---

7.3 support was only added in 2.16.0 which was released today, so the error might be related to that (from before the upgrade). If you switch back to 7.3 again now, does Mautic work without errors? Or are you still experiencing issues then? Thanks! ---

switching back to PHP 7.3 bring the error right back: [Mon Feb 17 16:14:01.971372 2020] [proxy\_fcgi:error] [pid 29058:tid 140621524117248] [client 198.147.23.149:35746] AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Warning: “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”.

**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2.16.0 My PHP version is: 7.3.14 **Your problem** I repeatedly get the following PHP Error messages in my Error logs while I normally use Mautic. Just updated to 2.16.0 this morning. Mautic seems to run okay. Will see latest tomorrow when other campaign messages are sent. Here are the error log entries that repeat: [25-Feb-2020 13:15:04 Europe/Berlin] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /PathToMautic/app/bundles/LeadBundle/Views/Auditlog/details.html.php on line 62 [25-Feb-2020 12:15:59 UTC] PHP Warning - “continue” targeting switch is equivalent to “break”.
