PHP 8.5 will be the next version of PHP, scheduled for release this November.
|
|
|
|
There are new features being added, including the `|>` pipe operator, that I'll look forward to using.
|
|
|
|
Once it's released, how can you tell if your application code is compatible?
|
|
|
|
Or, if you're stuck on an older version of PHP, how do you know if you can upgrade?
|
|
|
|
Running your automated tests is a great first step.
|
|
|
|
Another check is to use PHP CodeSniffer, aka (`phpcs`).
|
|
|
|
As well as coding standards, it can also run PHP compatibility checks.
|
|
|
|
With the [PHP Compatibility Coding Standard][0] installed, running `phpcs -p . --standard=PHPCompatibility` will perform the compatibility check and show any errors.
|
|
|
|
To specify a version of PHP to test against, add `--runtime-set testVersion 8.5` using the desired version.
|
|
|
|
If you need to make changes, I recommend [using Rector][1] and have it make the changes automatically.
