minihoot Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I feel like with PHP, after a single update a LOT of code breaks. It's pretty frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 PHP is not designed to be backwards compatible between major versions, and even minor versions in some cases. If an application was written for 5.6, the likelihood it'll run on 7 or 8 is nearly zero. A 7.1 app may run on 7.2 or 7.3, but not always, and it's not likely to work on 8.x. This is the reason we offer so many versions of PHP. I still use tons of stuff that runs on 5.6 myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
