Does M2 support/install on PHP7.4.8?

[hgpit]

Hi all,

Just a quick question.

Is [the latest version of] M2 strictly checking for and only supported on PHP 7.4.0? Or should any minor version of 7.4 be supported?

Thank you

Hello,

We've already looked over the documentation, but it's not clear enough.

It says "~7.4.0", not "<7.5" or "7.4.x" or ">=7.4 and <7.5"

We have a developer who has tried to install M2 on a 7.4.8 platform and it's failing to install due to an incompatible PHP version, so we wanted to be sure what the official status was.

Hi @hgpit ,

Tilde means next significant release. In our case, it should equivalent to >= 7.4.0, < 7.5.0.

Generally it should work with 7.4.8 php version as well. But did you try it with some other php version as well like 7.4.6.

There is a bug in PHP 7.4.2 which causes some messages to not render properly. Magento recommends using other versions of 7.4.

Hope this helps you!

The repo we use (Remi) only appears to provide the latest security/fix release of each major PHP version, which is understandable and expected.

This is for a production commercial ecomm platform, so we wouldn't want to install it on a lesser version (with known vulnerabilities or bugs).

If "~7.4" is supposed to mean "all releases of 7.4", then that answers our question though, and the M2 installer should be accepting 7.4.8 as a valid and supported version of PHP. I will let our developer know.

Thanks.
