Question about PHP 8 and its modules availability

[shah_ahmadyusof]

Hi, Sorry for my bad English. I am currently using OLS 1.7.12 and PHP 7.4.21. I would like to know if PHP 8 and all its modules are available to update? I tried to Google and also search within this forum but I cannot find any information about it. I may have missed something, but can anyone tell me the latest OLS and PHP versions that are already available?

Hi.
You might want to install PHP 8.0 and commonly used PHP extensions, then change the PHP external App to use PHP 8.0 binary

Hi @Cold-Egg, thank you for your reply. And thank you for the link. I have successfully updated my PHP to 8.0.8. I also have removed the previous lsphp74 and all its extension. But if I tried to remove lsphp73, it will also remove openlitespeed. Is there any way I can remove this without removing openlitespeed? Thanks in advance.

lsphp73 is needed for the OpenLiteSpeed itself, please keep it.

I see. I will keep it. Thank you for your assistance. You are awesome!

forgive my ignorance, but isn't one of the selling points of lsphp*.* that it was tightly integrated with openlitespeed (or litespeed in general)? I forget off the top of my head, but it was supposed to be heavily optimized for litespeed. Wouldn't going with "vanilla" php8 undo those optimizations?

edit: dissregard, i haven't had my coffee yet, thought the link above was for "php" not lsphp
