What version of PHP works for latest Flarum AND Debian 12?

Sibert

It seems that Debian 12 needs PHP 8.2 and Flarum needs PHP 7.4? Correct?

Sibert Flarum works on 8.1 and 8.2 too. 7.4 isn't even patched anymore, so don't use that.

Thank you! Good to know. I have manage to install PHP, but some dependencies are problematic. Are there anything I have missed?

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install php
sudo apt install php8.2-curl
sudo apt install php8.2-dom
sudo apt install php8.2-common (replaces JSON)
sudo apt install php8.2-gd
sudo apt install php8.2-fpm
sudo apt install php8.2-mbstring
sudo apt install php8.2-openssl (not available!)
sudo apt install php8.2-pdo_mysql (not available!) (replace with sudo apt install php-mysql?)
sudo apt install php8.2-tokenizer (php8.2-common)
sudo apt install php8.2-zip
php -v

Sibert depending on the operating system, some of the PHP extensions we list under requirements will be bundled with PHP itself and there will not be a separate package.

If you try to proceed with the installation, Composer and the Flarum installation wizard will tell you if any PHP extension is still missing.

Thank you!

So here is the complete installation. AFAIK:

sudo apt install php
sudo apt install php8.2-curl
sudo apt install php8.2-dom
sudo apt install php8.2-common <-- openssl
sudo apt install php8.2-mysql <-- pdo_mysql
sudo apt install php8.2-gd
sudo apt install php8.2-fpm
sudo apt install php8.2-mbstring
sudo apt install php8.2-zip

Crystal clear for a PHP newbie...
