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.

    M$ implementation of X is a multistrate heap of bad design decisions with erratic syntax and performance needing endless security hole plugging.
    Therefore M$ implementation of PHP is PHP. Use the real mccoy instead.
