Php 8.4/8.5 Info and Support....

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

PHP 8.1 has now reached the end of its lifespan at the end of the year
and there has been no information over the years regarding subsequent versions 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and the latest 8.5.
This is quite serious, given the lack of information for the community and for those who must decide whether to maintain a software no longer protected from potential security bugs, etc.
Why are the owners so slow?
SourceGuardian and IonCube have been officially supporting v8.4 for some time, and will soon be supporting 8.5, for which IonCube already has beta loaders.
It’s been a while since the release of 8.1. Is it possible that these changes aren’t being taken into due consideration or at least that there’s decent public information about them?
Clarifications on this matter and any ETAs would be professional and desirable, hoping that we don’t have to wait years and years until PHP’s support expires.

Best regards

tks for a info, PHP 8.2’s security support ends on December 31, 2026

Wouldn’t it have been better to opt directly for 8.4?

Regards

Yes, welcome to Scriptcase! Regards.

I would have preferred 8.4 too. 8.5 came out a couple of weeks ago. Having only stepped up by +0.1 means we’ll likely be in the same position at the end of next year!

No response or clarification from the admins / mods / or developers on this matter… I wonder how they would dare to want people to buy their product… after years of silence on the matter… truly shocked… support for the latest versions of php should not be optional but among the priorities if you are professional and ask for money… the rest is just talk

See Php (8.1) end of life - Scriptcase 9 / General - Scriptcase Low-code. Essentially, they’re still working on the new version.

…unfortunately, we do not have an estimated release date yet. :frowning_face:

After 4 years since the release of PHP 8.1, this is not a professional response, nor is it professional behavior… they could have anticipated the release times and the use of a PHP release that is still supported by years… so I would send this response straight back to the sender, a response that demonstrates their poor management skills…

What happens if an APP generated by scriptcase is run on a server with PHP8.4 ?
Does it work or not ?

Hi
If you upload and run a ScriptCase app on PHP 8.4 without modifications, you will likely encounter fatal errors or warnings due to language changes and incompatibilities (especially if your app uses deprecated features or custom PHP code).

Hi
We will have compatibility with 8.2 in a month…

#12

In 11 months we will be back to square one with a version that is no longer supported, we might as well have at least aimed for 8.4

#13

For now, that seems to be the solution. I hope that during the year there will be an improvement to 8.4 or 8.5.

#14

I don’t believe it. If they’ve been stuck at 8.1 for 4 years, imagine if they upgrade to two versions of PHP in one year. Any doubts are legitimate.

#15

The difference is that they had 4 years to migrate from 8.1, and only 1 year for 8.2

#16

That’s exactly what I meant. If it took them 4 years to update to 8.2, imagine if after updating to 8.2 they will take a short time to update to 8.4/8.5… it’s statistically unlikely… that’s what I meant, I wouldn’t bet on it.
