PHP 8.1 lost security support on December 31, 2025 – routine patching, backups and monitoring follow from there, scheduled around the php.net support calendar rather than reacted to after an incident.

PHP 8.1 lost security support on December 31, 2025 – any site still on it is running unpatched software today. PHP 8.2 stops receiving security fixes on December 31, 2026; PHP 8.3 on December 31, 2027; PHP 8.4 on December 31, 2028. PHP 5.x and 7.x versions are already years past end of life. Website Pandas maintenance plans check current version and dependency status on day one, then schedule patching ahead of each deadline rather than after one is missed. The common failure mode: a site running fine on an unsupported version, until a plugin vulnerability or a forced hosting upgrade breaks it with no warning.

Questions, answered ## PHP Maintenance and Support Services FAQs What Happens When a PHP Version Reaches End of Life? + When a PHP version reaches end of life, php.net stops releasing security patches, so any newly discovered vulnerability in that version goes unpatched indefinitely. PHP 8.1 lost security support on December 31, 2025, and PHP 5.x and 7.x versions have been unsupported for years. Website Pandas treats an end-of-life version as the first item on any new maintenance plan. How Often Does Website Pandas Patches a PHP Site? + Website Pandas schedules PHP maintenance on a recurring basis, with patching, dependency checks and a security review built into every plan rather than left for an emergency. Frequency depends on the site’s current PHP version and how close it sits to its published end-of-life date. A site nearing end of life gets prioritized ahead of one already current. Does PHP Maintenance from Website Pandas include Backups? + Yes – PHP maintenance from Website Pandas includes automated backup management alongside patching, security audits and performance monitoring, so a failed update or server issue does not mean lost data. Backup frequency and retention are scoped to site size and traffic during on boarding. Recovery steps are documented in advance, not improvised after something breaks. Can Website Pandas Maintain a Site Still Running PHP 7.4? + Yes, Website Pandas maintains sites on PHP 7.4 and other end-of-life versions, through the first recommendation is usually a scoped upgrade path, since PHP 7.4 has been unsupported for years and carries unpatched security risk. Maintenance continues in the meantime with monitoring and hardening. A written upgrade estimate follows within 48 hours of request. What Does PHP Maintenance Cost? + PHP maintenance pricing from Website Pandas depends on codebase size, current PHP version, site traffic and how many third-party integrations need monitoring, so no flat rate is published. A short technical review during the free consultation sets the scope. A written quote follows within 48 hours, month to month, with no long-term contract required.
