November 28, 2023PSA: PHP 8.0 reaches EOL today
PHP 8.1 has now been available for a whole two years as of today, and php 8 is about to stop getting security updates tomorrow. I’d encourage you to not wait until the last day of security updates to do a php release, especially if it’s just because you’re waiting for updates from developers for their themes or plugins. Updating to PHP 8.1 about a year ago would have been better to leverage its speed, efficiency, and enhanced security features much sooner. Also think about this: with PHP 8’s security support now hitting its expiration tomorrow, those who updated early had the luxury of a safety net. If issues arose with 8.1, a safe fallback to PHP 8 was still on the table. Now, with that option off the table, late updaters can be caught in a riskier situation if they have to revert to an insecure php version now. More on reddit.com

If any of your sites are running on PHP 8.0 (or, gasp, 7.x), now is the time to move them to PHP 8.1 or 8.2. Most decent web hosts have one-click options to jump between PHP versions, and most of the popular plugins and themes are already compatible with PHP 8.1.
As a rule, I always stay on the (latest - 2) version of PHP for an "optimum" mix of security and compatibility, so I moved my sites to 8.1 from 8.0 a few days ago.

Hello PHP'ers
I had in my head that 8.1 goes EOL in November and this is confirmed by both PHP Watch and End of Life.date. However, checking on https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php today, this is listing security support until November 2025.
I'm thinking that PHP.net is correct but wonder if this has changed recently? Anyone know?

If you have sites on PHP 8.1, it's time to start testing them on 8.2/8.3 and plan the upgrade. This will leave plenty of room for troubleshooting. WordPress core and all major themes and plugins work great with newer versions of PHP.

All of ours are running 8.2 currently, planning to upgrade to 8.4 soon. Just need to make sure Wordpress core and all plugins are up to date. Gonna script something together using wpcli to check them all before upgrading PHP (theres like 75 of them).
