PHP 5 has reached end of support and will be deprecated
on January 31, 2026. After deprecation, you won't be able to deploy PHP 5
applications, even if your organization previously used an organization policy to
re-enable deployments of legacy runtimes. Your existing PHP
5 applications will continue to run and receive traffic after their deprecation date
. We recommend that
you migrate to the latest supported version of PHP
.
