Available PHP Versions are EOL

[Stoyvo]

PHP 7.3 is the latest supported version on App Engine, and this version of PHP was EOL January 2021. Google has offered an out-dated version of PHP, this needs to change. PHP 7.4 and PHP 8 are the actively supported versions by PHP and Google should be offering at least these versions.

What is the ETA for supported PHP versions to be used on Google App Engine?

@donmccasland Removed PHP 7.4 and 8.0 in this commit:
a2fe0f2

I'm curious, where is the right location for this issue? It appears to be outside of this project.

@Stoyvo,

I am trying to build a custom image with 7.4 and 8.0.

I can not understand why they don't support 7.4 or 8.0 versions

@Stoyvo, @donmccasland

Do you know how can I create my own php7.4/8 image using this code?

I tried to build using an alpine image, but it's not working.

https://hub.docker.com/r/digitalmanagerguru/appengine-php-webserver

You can see the docker settings here:

https://bitbucket.org/digitalmanagerguru/appengine-webserver/src/dev/

This image is MUCH smaller than google's one. :P

@andreladocruz I created a custom image, tried flexible environment, moved to Standard afterwards. I believe this gets most of the way.

@Stoyvo ,

thanks for your help! =)

I made an image too and now it's running on our staging environment.

Looking into your files, I saw we got almost the same approach, using alpine. =)

The final image is 80% smaller and deploys 50% quicker than google's one.

I will move it into production soon. =)

@Stoyvo .. be my guest and do it with the data above.

I have no interest in this kind of bureaucracy or responsibility
