OK, I would have thought that this would have been a priority - especially given that php7.4 is already past it’s end of life. If I could code, I would help you for sure, but unfortunately that’s not my forte. ---

php7.4 is not at the eol yet but it currently on security patches only stage. I am now installing php8 and php8.1 on my server just to test it on a non-production Mautic. ---

Dear folks, I just tested my freshly updated Mautic instance with php8x and these are the results: php8.0.24 ==\> works php8.1 ==\> Error Code 500 So updating to 8.0 should not be a problem if you need to as EOL is 28.11.2022 ---

8.1 support will be coming with Mautic 5, as it has backwards compatibility breaking changes. As always, please check [Requirements](https://www.mautic.org/download/requirements) for the latest information on what versions are supported. ---

Hi @silavapi, that’s great to hear. For me it is currently fine, as 8.0 works for me and my shared hosting will sunset 7.4 one day after EOL. So I already switched and am fine for another year. And maybe a two step approach might work for others as well. That was the reason I posted my experience.
