any problems with PHP 8.3 and later?
« on: December 05, 2025, 07:30:41 AM »
Hi,

with CWP, version 0.9.8.1219 and AlmaLinux release 9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat), what is the recommended version of PHP to use and are there any problems with PHP 8.3 and later?

Thanks in advance!

Besides 0.9.8.1219 is now 3 versions behind the official again.
The current version of 8.3.28, and CWP is stuck at 8.3.25.

You could manually upgrade to the current 8.3, 8.4 and/or 8.5, there are guides on AlphaGNU.

Hi,

as I already said, I am with CWP, version 0.9.8.1219 and AlmaLinux release 9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat)...

The active version of WordPress is 6.9 and I saw that the recommendation is to use PHP 8.3 or greater, in this case what is recommended to do and/or which instruction should I use to raise the PHP version to the required one?

Thanks in advance!

Just use PHP switcher, and select 8.3.25 with the modules you need/want.

WP 6.9 works fine with it.

Hi,

thank you very much for the answer...
Yes, this is the standard compilation of 8.3, but as far as I remember, something extra had to be done, something had to be added to some file and something else, were there instructions for that, please...

If you enable ionCube, PHP will give an error

Cannot load the ionCube PHP Loader – it was built with configuration API420220829,NTS, whereas running engine is API420230831,NTS
So if you need ionCube, you can find the fix at:

Hi,

thank you very much for your reply, I have implemented it and am now using New ionCube Loaders for PHP - 15.0.0 ....

When running the php -v command, it now returns me:

What to do and clear these errors…

I'm only familiar with MariaDB, not MongoDB.

Update the MongoDB PHP Driver
Often, this warning appears because of older versions of the mongodb extension or library. Ensure you are using the latest version of both:
Extension: Update via PECL:
Code: [Select]
pecl upgrade mongodbLibrary: Update via Composer:
Code: [Select]
composer update mongodb/mongodb

[root@hosting ~]# pecl upgrade mongodb

pecl/mongodb requires PHP (version >= 8.1.0, version <= 8.99.99), installed version is 8.0.30

[root@hosting ~]# composer update mongodb/mongodb
