Microsoft is dropping PHP support from Windows:

PHP 8.0 is due for release in November, but when this major new version appears Windows will not support it.

The company says that bug fixes and security patches will continue to be released for the lifecycles of PHP versions 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4. But when the latest version is released later this year, Microsoft will "not [...] be supporting PHP for Windows in any capacity for version 8.0 and beyond".

[...] No reason has been given for the decision, but it is likely to be down to number of users.

Also At:
Microsoft will not support PHP 8.0 for Windows in 'any capacity'
Microsoft: We're pulling the plug on Windows builds of programming language PHP

    I used to be a sad depressed person taking my anger at life out on others, but Jesus showed me the way. Compassion and love are the only way to build a strong community.

    May you find a place to call home and help heal those emotional wounds.

    Love, light, and support for you during these tough times
