November marks two big events for the PHP language — PHP 8.0 community support end of life (EOL), and the general availability release of PHP 8.3. For companies deploying PHP 8.0, that means quickly planning an upgrade to a community-supported version, or finding an alternative way to patch their EOL PHP. For some, it may mean waiting to upgrade to a new PHP version like PHP 8.3.
But what will upgrading PHP 8.0 look like in reality, and what features, changes, and deprecations can they expect to see in PHP 8.3?
