Image upload failures after server PHP update

[Bigin]

then you are doing something wrong

[shawn_a]

You cannot set php ini directives in an htaccess typically, they must go in php ini, this is usually locked down. Depends on the host though.

[Bigin]

yes, maybe, but this is not necessarily the case, many hosts provides it.

you can try php_value instead of php_flag:
php_value always_populate_raw_post_data -1

Yes @Bigin, it's pretty safe to assume that I'm doing ~something~ wrong.
@shawn_a Yes, the hosting company has things pretty well locked down that way.

Well, a tip of my hat and a BIG thank you to shawn_a.  Using cpanel to switch from php 5.6 to php 7 got rid of the php chatter and the error uploading pictures!  Sadly, the process still does not work as I encounter a java error now, with "fancybox" which wasn't happening pre-patching by the hosting company.  Arrgh! Not sure if it is at all GS related, so I'll start with the hosting company for advice.
If your interested, the error is:
script.js:46 Uncaught TypeError: $(...).fancybox is not a function
   at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (script.js:46)
   at Object.resolveWith (jquery-1.6.3.min.js:2)
   at Function.ready (jquery-1.6.3.min.js:2)
   at HTMLDocument.C (jquery-1.6.3.min.js:2)

I think you should update to lasted php version

I think you should update to lasted php version

We did an update to PHP which resolved most issues.  Thanks!

Where you can not interfere with the PHP version.
Usually, the hosting packages support version changes.
Try checking the file sa_welcome.php line 12.
