When will PHP 8.4 be released in CWP?

Hello,

When can we expect PHP 8.4 to be available in CWP? I couldn't find an answer in the forum itself!

Best regards,
cHAp

Starburst maintains an "anti-changelog" about PHP versions currently available on CWP, and their current status vs. current releases of PHP. You could watch that thread for more details about PHP 8.4:

Thank You

I hope soon.

CPW have released 3 updates, and haven't even updated PHP 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 yet.
And even I can't get an answer to this.

You can manually update PHP to 8.4 and just starting working on that KB article.
Let me verify the process, and I'll post a link when ready. Hopefully within 24 hours. Send Coke... 

Been busy with the ConfigServer FAQ Archive stuff on the KB. (Still a work in progress)
I'm hopeful he will release the code under GPL so it can continue to be developed.

OMG...

PHP 8.4 isn't as easy to get compiled & installed as previous versions.
Not sure what they changed, but it keeps erroring. 
And since this is a computer program, C4 found a problem it can't fix... 

But I am still working on it. 

We'll GoFundYou a case of Cokes...

OK, got 1 way to work.

Surprisingly some extensions don't support PHP 8.4 yet like IMAP. Only has support up to 8.3.24.

But anyways...

That would be up to your provider on how to make a snapshot or backup.

Every provider is different in the way they do it.

Check their KB, they should have instructions.
If not, contact their support.

Could use some help, if you have time.

Got PHP 8.4 mostly working, but on AL9 with CWP 0.9.8.1210, when I try to install imap from pecl, I keep getting:

# pecl install imap
pecl/imap requires PHP (version >= 8.3.0), installed version is 8.0.30
No valid packages found
install failed

# php -v
PHP 8.4.11 (cli) (built: Aug  7 2025 02:36:15) (NTS)

Does this work for php-fpm as well? We are forced php-fpm server. Thank you

Not officially supported -- best to just wait for official CWP support for php-fpm 8.4. (There may be some hacky ways to get it going in the CLI, but you wouldn't have GUI control of it.)

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.

Probably a best bet looking for alternatives, since CWP appears a little death in new features...

Are you the local cPanel evangelist? I'm tired of the Chicken Little weather reports about CWP -- "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
