TuxCare’s Upcoming Webinars: STIG Security 101 [Sept 18th] & When Spring Ends: How to Securely Work with End-of-Life Spring Projects [Sept 19th]
Endless Lifecycle Support
for PHP
for both Linux and Windows
Ensure the security of your workloads while running an outdated version of
PHP – so you can avoid massive code refactoring while upgrading your distro
to the latest version.
TuxCare has successfully resolved more than 5000 CVEs in open-source products to date (and counting), ensuring robust security and compliance for enterprise systems.
Secure Long-Term PHP Support
Upgrading from an older version of PHP to PHP 8 can require rewriting 50-60% of existing PHP code – and that’s just to maintain existing functionality, leaving no room for the new features that businesses anticipate the most.
With Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) for PHP, you can keep your systems running smoothly and avoid large-scale code refactoring while using your existing version of PHP for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
PHP is a popular open-source scripting language widely used for web development, allowing developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. It is integral to many web applications and websites for server-side scripting.
The PHP community actively supports the latest few releases with security updates and bug fixes, with PHP 8.3 being the latest release. TuxCare’s Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) offers additional support for older, end-of-life versions – like PHP 5.x to 7.x – beyond the community’s support timeline. New PHP versions are also available in the same repository.
Upgrading to a newer version of PHP typically involves testing your web applications for compatibility, updating deprecated code, and ensuring all dependencies are compatible with the new version. It’s a critical process to maintain security and performance but can be incredibly resource intensive.
Endless support for end-of-life PHP versions allows your organization to maintain critical applications securely without the immediate need for costly and time-consuming upgrades. This support includes security patches and bug fixes for older versions, mitigating vulnerabilities.
TuxCare provides Endless Lifecycle Support for several end-of-life PHP versions, including but not limited to PHP 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4. We make current PHP versions including PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 available in our repository as well. This allows businesses to access whatever versions they need from a single source and continue using outdated versions securely while planning their upgrade path.
TuxCare’s ELS can extend the life of your PHP versions by providing critical security updates and support for years beyond the official end-of-life date. This gives your organization ample time to plan and execute a transition to a supported version of PHP. If commercial demand for support for a specific version of PHP falls, we will announce the end of support for that version one year in advance – giving our users ample time to figure out their next steps.
