Support for PHP 8.4

When do we will get support for PHP 8.4, it was releases some months ago and we should have it available as soon as possible

https://php.watch/versions
8.4 was released 11/21/2024 -- so not long in this world. Be patient, CWP support will come!
(Personally, I live toward the tail end of support, so things are not bleeding edge or tend to have vulnerabilities, but are still actively supported before EOL.)

PHP 8.5 already loading but we still not getting 8.4. Our clients are asking for 8.4 but we don't have any answer to their questions.

I was able to get in touch with José Manuel Nuez, the CEO of CWP, who told me that PHP versions 8.4 and 8.5 will be deployed soon.

ionCube has to catch up also.

Currently 15.5.0 is in beta with PHP 8.5 support.

2025-11-21   15.5.0 BETA   Beta release of PHP 8.5 loaders for Linux that will run encoded files produced by the PHP 8.4, 8.3 & 8.2 Encoders. These loaders should only be used for testing and not in production.

You can still manually add PHP 8.4 and 8.5 using the guide at AlphaGNU.

PHP-FPM 8.3 (php_selector3)  PHP-FPM Selector

PHP 8.3 won't even install. I had manually installed version 8.2 before... The more I try, the more things break...

Isn't it strange that PHP, which can be installed with a few commands, won't install via the “PHP FPM selector”?

Even while discussing PHP 8.4, PHP 8.3 cannot be installed via PHP-FPM Selector. Quite a few people have complained about this situation and searched for solutions in forums and online...

José Manuel had indicated to me that PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5 were coming in the next major update.

Hello,

When will the major update be released?

Hello,

Thanks

As always, thanks for your messages.
I've come here because I need to install PHP 8.4 on CWP 8 / AlmaLinux 8. These links are for CWP9/Alma9 (I'm interested in php-fmp), and I've spent all day tweaking the paths so that it's 8 instead of 9, but I still can't install modules or I'm getting other errors. Is there any way to install PHP 8.4 correctly on CWP 8?
Thanks

PS: Sorry about the previous post; I quoted the wrong one, didn't see it, and now I can't edit it.

The guide at:
https://www.alphagnu.com/topic/615-install-latest-version-of-php-84-php-switcher-in-cwp-control-web-panel-el89-almalinux-89/

Is for both AlmaLinux 8 and 9.
If you are running either of those you should not have to 'tweat' any paths.

Some modules where retired when PHP 8.4 was released, like IMAP in 8.4, that now need to be loaded via PECL.

I went to install it on a CWP 8 / AL8, I had this error:

Code: [Select]

checking for zip archive read/write support... yes
checking for libzip >= 0.11 libzip != 1.3.1 libzip != 1.7.0... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libzip >= 0.11 libzip != 1.3.1 libzip != 1.7.0) were not met:

Package 'libzip', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'libzip', required by 'virtual:world', not found
Package 'libzip', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBZIP_CFLAGS
and LIBZIP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I'm looking for a solution, anyway, it's for PHP Switcher, not PHP-FPM, correct?
