Which to use? PHP version 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5?
8.5 isn't fully released, and won't be for a few months still. You could still use it, but you may experience issues. As for whether to use it it over 8.2 or 8.3, I would always advise using the latest stable version, as you benefit from all the new features, and maximise the window of support for the actual version of PHP. I believe PHP versions recieve support now for bugs for 1 year and security updates for 2 years, or possibly vice versa. You should treat updates to PHP very similarly to phone updates. Whilst your phone hardward may stay the same, updating adds new features and security fixes, and if you don't update, then you are more likely (even if it is only by a tiny amount) to experience issues or fall victim to securit problems.

With PHP 8.4 though, exit() and die() are now properly treated as functions, and all of the above has been fixed. Note that the keyword variant without brackets of course still works the same.

PHP 8.4: Release Candidate brings important updates in DOM, MBString and Opcache | heise online
September 30, 2024 - In the MBString extension, according to the release notes, there was an error in mb_detect_encoding() that contained an invalid encoding "UTF8". The update updates the Unicode data tables to Unicode 16, which allows better support for newer characters. Opcache receives important updates, including fixing a segmentation fault and introducing the opcache_jit_blacklist() function, which excludes certain functions from just-in-time (JIT) compilation. In the PHPDBG extension, the development team has fixed an assertion error and corrected use-after-free issues in the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library.
