Increase minimum PHP version #954

Closed GaryJones closed 5 months ago

GaryJones commented 1 year ago

As of right now (3.5.11 has just been released), the minimum PHP version is 5.6. WordPress 6.3 is about to be released with a minimum PHP version of 7.0. In a few months, PHP 8.3 will be available.

When 4.0 of CAP is being prepared, then the minimum PHP version can be increased - this helps to reduce bugs (from cross-version differences), reduce testing requirements (not so many combinations to support in CI testing), and can reduce the amount of code to maintain (through more modern syntax).

The minimum version should be PHP 7.4.
