PHP PHP 7.4 End Of Life November 2022

PHP 7.4 branch is now end of life (EOL) from upstream php.net folks from November 28, 2022 onwards. PHP 7.4.33 is currently the last PHP 7.4 branch version released. No more bug fix or security updates according to

• PHP: Supported Versions
• PHP: Unsupported Branches

So ideally, you should upgrade to latest PHP 8.0.x = 8.0.26+ or PHP 8.1.x = 8.1.13 versions if your PHP web apps and/or plugin/addons support those versions. Though PHP 8.0 active support ended in November 2022 too and only has security support until November 26, 2023 next year. So only PHP 8.1 has active + security support right now until November 25, 2023 and November 25, 2024 respectively.

You can find latest PHP version listed on php.net web site or via Centmin Mod command shortcut which works after first time you run centmin.sh menu option 5 = getphpver

Code (Text):

getphpver
8.1.13
8.0.26
7.4.33
7.3.33
7.2.34
7.1.33
7.0.33
5.6.40
5.5.38

Or pass the major version number to command to only get that latest PHP version. PHP 8.2 hasn't been added yet as it's still in RC status and not GA (General Availability stable release yet).

Code (Text):

getphpver 80
8.0.26

getphpver 81
8.1.13

Centmin Mod Latest Supported PHP versions

• Centmin Mod should still work with PHP 7.1, 7.2, 7.3. and 7.4 and I do backport security updates to them if they're available. However, ideally, you want to update to PHP 8.0.x or 8.1.x branch.
• Centmin Mod 124.00stable currently supports PHP 8.0 and 8.1 fine.
• Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 supports PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 as well as experimental PHP 8.2 RC (release candidate) support. So if you want to test PHP 8.2 RC releases currently at PHP 8.2.0 RC7 release, you can run centmin.sh menu option 5 and specify PHP version = 8.2.0RC7 and it will compile though not all PHP extensions maybe compatible right now. PHP 8.2.0 GA release is due on December 8, 2022 so only 9 days away really!
• Centmin Mod backports major security fixes and patches to previous EOL PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 branches were possible. The backported PHP security fix patches are first tested on Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 before eventually landing in Centmin Mod 124.00stable branches.

Though the current Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 test with PHP 8.2.0RC7 seems to compile fine
