PHP Version for c5-8.5.2

Permalink
Hello, it appears to me that this page is wildly out of date?

https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/introduction/system-r...


What PHP version should I be using with Concrete5 8.5.2 ?

Thanks

I'm running Concrete 8.5.2 on PHP 7.0 which works just fine for me, but I also have other sites built with C5 that work with PHP 7.3.

I'd highly recommend going with PHP 7.3, since performance is improved over older versions.

When v9 is released, it will be >=php7 only. No php5.6.

Another consideration, we are getting an increasing number of addons & themes coming through the PRB that specify higher php versions such as >=php7.2.

So as @PineCreativeLabs says, if your host has php7.3, then go for it.
