Can all websites handle PHP 8.2 ?
PHP 8.2 is the latest version of PHP that has recently been released. Although it contains many improvements and new features, not all websites can handle it.
It is therefore particularly important that you first test your website with PHP 8.2 to see if it works correctly or if there are any problems. You should also check with your hosting provider if they support PHP 8.2 and if any special settings or configurations are required to use it.
To avoid problems, it may be a good idea to upgrade to PHP 8.2 in stages, by first upgrading to an earlier version of PHP and testing your site there. If everything works properly, you can then upgrade to PHP 8.2.
