PHP official website updates this version of the support list PHP 7.1 will be discontinued by the end of 2019

­A few days ago, the PHP official website updated this version of the support list. From January 1, 2019, PHP will no longer provide support for PHP version 5.6. websites using PHP 5.6 will not have security vulnerabilities and error updates in the future. In addition, PHP 7.0 also ceased security support on December 1, 2018.

­currently, PHP officially supports three versions, PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, and PHP 7.3, and PHP 7.1 will be discontinued on December 1, 2019. Therefore, it is officially recommended that users migrate to PHP version 7.2 or above.

­PHP officially launched an additional year of security support to PHP 5.6. the main reason is that at this stage, the proportion of PHP is relatively high, and nearly 3 of the websites built with PHP use PHP 5, which means that many websites at this stage have certain security risks. For this part of the website, it is very necessary to switch to the version of PHP 7. 0 or above.
