Should I upgrade to PHP 8.2?

 

[Andy.N]

Absolutely. I have used 8.2 for a long time without issue.

Absolutely! I'm currently running two sites on 2.2.15 with PHP 8.2 and have no issues. PHP 8.3 is available to me, but I've not tested it as yet, but will sometime soon and if I run into any issues I can switch back to 8.2 until any such issues are resolved.

Similar. I'll probably wait for 2.3 to upgrade my PHP at this point. 8.2 is the recommended for 2.2.15 and is working fine.

8.2 is good. I can't upgrade past 8.2 though.

Upgrade only if the latest version of add-ons you're using are compatible with PHP 8.2.

If everything works for you, there's no need to upgrade PHP. Also, test if everything will work for you with PHP 8.2 first.

With PHP 8.3, some built-in features of XF 2.2 doesn't work fine like cli command to rebuild search index.

I forgot the other issue I encounter with 8.3.

I've got a test site on my local PC (Mamp Pro) and my test site (VPS with PHP8.3.6), both work fine with PHP 8.3.

Definitely not a good idea considering 7.4 has been totally unsupported by PHP since November 2022. That's one very significant reason to upgrade.

This line of thinking is also what keeps people using very old versions forever, which holds developers back from being able to use newer PHP features as everything still needs to support old versions. They may as well not release new versions.

What does the red message on your admin home page say? It's always worth following what that says.
