### Security Implications
|
|
- **CRITICAL**: No security updates for PHP 8.0

|
- **Vulnerability Risk**: Systems exposed to new exploits
|
|
- **Compliance**: Running EOL versions violates security standards
|
|
|
|
### Upgrade Requirements
|
|
- **Immediate Action Required**: Upgrade to PHP 8.1+ (minimum)
|
|
- **Recommended**: PHP 8.4 for latest features and long-term support
|
|
- **Breaking Changes**: 50-60% code rewrite potentially required
|
|
|
|
### Best Practices & Recommendations
|
|
- **Minimum PHP Version**: 8.1 (supported until Dec 2025)
|
|
- **Recommended**: PHP 8.4 (supported until Dec 2028)
|
|
- **Migration Strategy**: Plan for significant code refactoring
|
|
- **Security**: Implement TuxCare ELS if immediate upgrade impossible
