# 󠀁[WordPress 6.5 PHP Compatibility](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2024/04/05/wordpress-6-5-php-compatibility/)󠁿

As we[ explained in the previous post](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2023/11/16/wordpress-6-4-php-compatibility/),
for each new version of WordPress, we aim to release an article explaining the compatibility
of PHPPHP PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general-purpose scripting language
especially suited to web development. PHP code is usually processed on a web server
by a PHP interpreter. On a web server, the result of the interpreted and executed
PHP code would form the whole or part of an HTTP response. with the WordPress versions
and our team’s recommendation for that specific version.

On this occasion, once again, we will explain the details of compatibility, including“
betaBeta Beta is the software development phase following alpha. A Beta phase generally
begins when the software is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known
or unknown bugs. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in
it than completed software, speed or performance issues, and may still cause crashes
or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating
usability testing. compatible” or “compatible with exceptions”.

So, here you have the compatibility information, this time, for WordPress 6.5.

## **WordPress’ serverServer A server is a piece of computer hardware or software that provides functionality for other programs or devices. Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers. requirements**

Even if there are more stable software versions, that doesn’t mean they are the 
ones WordPress recommends.

This makes WordPress 6.5 requirements:

 * PHP: 7.0+
 * MySQLMySQL MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).
   MySQL is free and open-source software under the terms of the GNU General Public
   License.: 5.5.5+
 * MariaDBMariaDB MariaDB is a fork of the MySQL relational database management 
   system (RDBMS), intended to remain free and open-source software under the GNU
   General Public License. MariaDB intended to maintain high compatibility with 
   MySQL, ensuring a drop-in replacement capability with library binary parity and
   exact matching with MySQL APIs and commands.: 5.5.5+

You can read more at[ Server requirements](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/compatibility/#wordpress-php-mysql-mariadb-versions).

## **WordPress’ compatibility “at the time”**

WordPress 6.5 was released on April 2, 2024, and at that time we had the following
components available (stable or security-maintained versions only, and RCRelease
Candidate A beta version of software with the potential to be a final product, which
is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. only for informational purposes).

 * PHP: 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3
 * MySQL: 8.0 (LTS), 8.2, and 8.3.
 * MariaDB: 10.4 (LTS), 10.5 (LTS), 10.6 (LTS), 10.11 (LTS), 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, and
   11.3

You can read more at[ WordPress Compatibility](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/compatibility/#wordpress-php-mysql-mariadb-versions).

## **WordPress and PHP**

PHP is a programming language on which WordPress code is based. This language runs
on the server, and it is critical to keep it up to date, both for security and functionality.

WordPress supports many versions of PHP, some even obsolete ([PHP Compatibility and WordPress Versions](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/)).

_WordPress 6.5 (coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. 
The Core Team builds WordPress.) is:_

 * **fully compatible** with PHP 7.0^(1), 7.1^(1), 7.2^(1), 7.3^(1), and 7.4^(1).
 * **compatible with exceptions** with PHP 8.0^(1), 8.1, and 8.2.
 * **beta compatible** with 8.3.

_^(1)__ SECURITY ALERT: These versions are not officially maintained by PHP, so 
they are considered insecure and obsolete versions and should not be used in production.
Check with your hostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting
service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible
via the World Wide Web. provider about the security maintenance they can do._

### **What “compatible with exceptions” mean?**

**PHP 8.0**

 * _Named parameters. WordPress does not support named parameters.__PHP 8.0 supports
   optionally calling functions and class methods by specifying the parameter name,
   instead of calling them on the order of parameters that they are declared.
   PHP,
   and many other programming languages, support positional parameters: The caller
   passes the parameters in the same order the function/method declares its parameters.
 * [_Filesystem WP\_Filesystem\_FTPext and WP\_Filesystem\_SSH2 when connect fails_](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48689)_.
   __An investigation is underway as to why on some occasions the access to the 
   files returns some type of error.

**PHP 8.1**

 * _Not all “passing null to non-nullable” issues have been found.__In PHP, you 
   can tell a function exactly what type of information it should accept. If you
   tell a function to expect a certain type of information, and you give it nothing
   at all (null is like saying “nothing”), then PHP gets confused and gives an error.
   This problem happens when someone accidentally gives a function “nothing” when
   the function wasn’t designed to handle “nothing”.
 * [_htmlentities() et al needs the default value of the flags parameter explicitly set_](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53465)_.
   __According to[ htmlentities()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php),
   the default for flags for PHP 8.1 was “changed from ENT_COMPAT to ENT_QUOTES 
   | ENT_SUBSTITUTE | ENT_HTML401”. All use cases for this functionality in WordPress
   Core are being investigated.
 * [_Replace most strip\_tags() with wp\_strip\_tags()_](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57579)_.
   __There are rare occasions when the strip_tags() function is passed a null value,
   which generates a warning that the string is deprecated.

**PHP 8.2**

 * [utf8_{encode|decode} deprecation](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55603)
   with pending decision on requiring a PHP extension.
 * [Unknown dynamic properties’](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/56034) deprecation.

### **What “beta” mean?**

**PHP 8.3**

 * _Deprecation notices__A deprecation notice is not an error, but rather an indicator
   of where additional work is needed for compatibility before PHP 9.0. With a deprecation
   notice, the PHP code will continue to work and nothing is broken.

## **Hosting Team Recommendation**

Taking all this into account, the **Hosting Team’s recommendations for WordPress
6.5** are as follows (which[ may differ from the global ones](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)).

 * PHP: 8.2.x
 * MySQL: 8.0.x
 * MariaDB: 10.11.x

_IMPORTANT: These recommendations are intended, primarily, for new installations
by hosting providers._

# 󠀁[Proposal: PHPUnit Test Runner with Multi-PHP and Multi-Environment](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2024/03/20/proposal-runner-multi-php-environment/)󠁿

This past weekend, the [Clodfest Hackathon](https://hackathon.cloudfest.com/) took
place and the HostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting
service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible
via the World Wide Web. team [proposed a project to improve the tools](https://hackathon.cloudfest.com/project/enhanced-wordpress-unit-testing-suite/).

Thanks to Pascal ([@swissspidy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/swissspidy/)), Cesar,
and myself ([@javiercasares](https://profiles.wordpress.org/javiercasares/)), we
have been able to make progress on some elements that had been in the backlog for
over 4 years.

An important detail is that all the changes made are backward compatible so that
the default configuration should not affect any of the new features, especially 
considering GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of
git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription.
GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches
by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository
owner. Actions.

## What has been achieved?

The first step was to include support for **Multi-PHPPHP PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
is a general-purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. PHP
code is usually processed on a web server by a PHP interpreter. On a web server,
the result of the interpreted and executed PHP code would form the whole or part
of an HTTP response.**. This way, a user could submit different reports of the same
commit but with different versions of PHP installed.

The second step was to create **Multi-Environment**. This allows a user to establish
different servers with their respective configurations and PHP versions. This allows,
for example, having an environment for “shared hosting”, another for “vps”, and 
another for “cloud”. This is in addition to the Multi-PHP from before.

The third step was to support **All-Commits**. The tool previously only executed
the latest available commit. With this new change, a list of the 10 latest commits
will be made, and all of them will be processed in case many commits are sent in
a short time. Usually, the tool can take between 5 and 30 minutes per process, and
sometimes commits that were never tested in all environments could be lost.

All these changes are accompanied by their respective improvements in the [PHPUnit Test Reporter](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-reporter),
the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions
that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new
features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming
language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.
org Plugin Directory or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. that collects
and displays the information.

From now on, the initial list will be a summary of the different environments and
how many are working and failing. Once inside, we can see the list of all environments
and PHP combinations. This is the **visualization for developers**: one commit, 
many results.

Furthermore, there is the option for different bots (i.e., different providers) 
to have their list and on the same screen, they can see the list of the latest tests
and thus easily detect when or in what change an error occurred. This is the **visualization
for providers**: one provider, many results.

## Where can the changes be seen?

They are not yet approved because they need code review, documentation, and validation
by more people. The focus of the Hackathon was to include the functionality, and
it was done “too quickly,” so there is duplicated code and improvements can be made.
It works, yes, but it’s not pretty.

The PRs with the changes are at:

 * Test Runner: [PR 212](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner/pull/212)
 * Test Reporter: [PR 109](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-reporter/pull/109)

If you want to contribute, please review and test the code to validate that everything
works correctly.

## Next steps

In addition to giving a code review, looking for possible errors, and proposing 
some improvements, we also intend to review the documentation on how to install 
and maintain the system automatically.

In parallel, we will review with the [#core](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/tag/core/)
team that everything is working fine and that the GitHub Actions do not give errors,
even with the possibility of running different tests depending on the PHP version.
