PHP 8.4 released on November 21, 2024, and it brought with it an expansive set of new features and functionalities. From property hooks to HTTP verbs changes, HTML5 support to new find array functions, PHP 8.4 represents an exciting leap forward for the language.

However, despite the many benefits of deploying PHP 8.4, upgrade journeys are often complex and full of unexpected complications. To make the most of this latest PHP version, teams must understand deprecations going into effect, assess how new features will impact their applications, and create a detailed plan for upgrading mission-critical PHP apps.
