My server was running under PHP version 8.1.x which my host announced to be legacy from next year on.
I updated now to PHP 8.2 since that seems to be fully supported by BL 5. They recommend PHP 8.4.
I searched and googled for half an hour now and can not find any specification that tells me which PHP version is fully supported by Backlight 5.x?
Why is that information not readily available? It should state somewhere in the module which version of PHP is fully supported!
@Ben posted this earlier this year:
We support the latest PHP version available during the lifetime of our Backlight version. Since Backlight 6 is current, that means it currently supports PHP up to version 8.4. Backlight 6 will also support PHP 8.5, which is coming out later this year.
Hi @skipper, Backlight 5 officially supports up to version 8.2 of PHP. Backlight 6 up to PHP 8.5.
You may well find that BL5 runs without issue on newer versions, but we haven’t tested it and can’t guarantee that it will.
