Which PHP-Version should I choose?

14 Jan 2020, 03:06

Hi there,

my website on my german provider runs right now on PHP version 5.6. But I can choose versions up to 7.3 - which version should I use to make my site futureproof?

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

The newer the better. Choose PHP 7.3! Newer PHP versions are faster, more secure and offer best compatibility.

Just don't select latest PHP 7.4 quite yet, because we need to release an update to make X3 compatible with latest PHP 7.4 version.

PHP 7.4. No reason to choose anything else than latest stable PHP version.

Hello, I am still on PHP 7.4. Can and should I update to 8.0 or 8.1? Both versions are available for use.

Thanks

You should normally choose latest/newest PHP version, in your case PHP 8.1.

PHP 8.2 is already out, but I need to release an update for X3 to be fully compatible with changes.
