However, look at how many packages still require a version lower than PHP 8.0: 707 out of 926 packages analysed. On the one hand it's good to see PHP 8.1 as the minimum required version for 125 packages. Next, I used a little script to get the lowest version each package supports from their composer.json file. I used Nikita's popular package analyzer to download the 1000 most popular composer packages. Part of the answer though (I think) lies with the open source community: what are packages requiring as their minimal version? Are they encouraging their users to update, or not? So why aren't people upgrading to PHP 8.0? Why are more people staying with PHP 7.4 compared to the 5.5 and 5.6 days? I don't have a definitive answer. I'm a little worried that PHP 8.0 wasn't as exciting as PHP 7.0 back in the day.įear for upgrading shouldn't be a blocker these days compared to eight years ago: we now have mature tools like Rector and PHP CS that take care of almost the whole upgrade path for you.

Either way, sending us patch version changes, changes in the default versions, or new public phpinfo URLs can be done via updating. Now we parse phpinfo () on public URLs that hosts make available, like this: Not all hosts have them so some are still entirely manual. PHP 5.5 and subsequent versions saw a much faster decline as soon as PHP 7.0 became available, compared to PHP 7.4's decline when PHP 8.0 was released. This used to be entirely manual, which was a horrendous to keep up to date. Version 5.8.1 introduces production support.It's interesting to compare the 5.5 peak in 2014 to the 7.4 peak two years ago.
