Your CiviCRM site needs PHP 8. Now.

Are you running CiviCRM? Are you sure it's running on PHP 8? It will suddenly matter in just a few days.

---

The CiviCRM project has announced an upcoming security update, to be released next week.

So be prepared to update.

But there's a catch. Since around March of this year, all new CiviCRM versions have required PHP 8.

That means, as of next week, the only way to get the latest available security updates for CiviCRM is to be sure your site is running on PHP 8.

I've mentioned this before on this list (see "Get ready now: Why PHP versions matter” from back in April).

So maybe you've got it all sorted out by now.

But if you’re not sure, please read that email, and talk to someone who can help you.

It used to be a "someday this could be a problem" kind of thing.

Now it's a "next week it will be a problem" thing.

Please don't wait.

All the best,
A.
