PHP Versions

PHP Versions

The following PHP engine versions are supported by the platform within the limits of PHP hosting:

  • PHP 8.0.30
  • PHP 8.1.25
  • PHP 8.2.18
  • PHP 8.3.6

When creating an environment, you may select the version you require and quickly switch between them later using the topology wizard. The following is the workflow:

1. To access the Environment Wizard frame, click the New Environment button located at the top of the dashboard window.

New Environment

2. Go to the PHP language tab and select your favorite application server there. Using the second drop-down list in the primary pane, select the engine version that you want.

Select PHP versions

Click the Create button after choosing the desired area, entering your environment name (or using the default), and setting the resource restrictions.

Tip: See the PHP Developer’s Centre paper for further details on the platform’s PHP hosting features and the opportunities it offers.

3. Click the Redeploy containers icon next to the relevant layer to modify the PHP version for the already-existing environment.

4. Choose the necessary engine version from the opened frame’s Tag list.

Click Redeploy to verify the modifications.

Note: If you are moving from a PHP 4.3 release to a PHP 7 engine version for old PHP containers, you might need to manually redefine the included PHP modules since some of them were made dynamic (i.e., only enabled when needed).
