PHP Message

[PaulNewman]

Hello, I hope all is well.

I have been updating my SSL Certificates today, and I have been getting the following message on them… We use Joomla here…

Warning

Your PHP version, 7.4.8, is only receiving security fixes from the PHP project at this time. This means your PHP version will soon no longer be supported. We recommend planning to upgrade to a newer PHP version before it reaches end of support on 2022-11-28. Joomla will be faster and more secure if you upgrade to a newer PHP version. Please contact your host for upgrade instructions.

Please can somebody advise me??

Thanks,

Paul

You can ignore this Joomla message.
InfinityFree now only supports PHP 7.4, which as Joomla says, is only receiving security fixes.
For this message to disappear, you would need to upgrade to PHP version 8.x. However, it isn’t available yet.

PHP 5.x versions will be removed soon

As of the 2nd of September, all PHP 5.x versions have been removed from free hosting, and all sites have been upgraded to PHP 7.4. The PHP version selector has also been removed (because there are no other PHP versions to choose from). PHP 8 is next on the roadmap regarding PHP versions, which will replace PHP 7.4 when that happens.
