is there a problem updating PHP?

[rcane]

Hi,

I'm still in 2.19 (yeah I know).

My php is 8.0 on my Linux server.

I was going to install a few things (not related to SMF) but they require PHP 8.4.

Is there any threat to my SMF by updating PHP from 8 to 8.4?

On 2.0.19, absolutely. The highest supported php version is 8.0

To go higher you must upgrade SMF to 2.1

Smf 2.1. isn't officially compatible with php 8.4. a.f.a.i.k.  whereas 2.0. as mentioned above will cause issues.

Thank you. 


I'm sure there is a document on that I missed.  Always good to check.  I'm not in a position to upgrade and such.
