Two out of three composer installs use a PHP versions that isn't actively supported any more If you want some hands-on tips on how to start, you can read this post about the why and how of managing PHP version ugrades. I believe we - you and I - all have a responsibility to carry. Over the past years, I've been making it my goal to educate the people around me about the importance of keeping software up to date. That means that two out of three composer installs use a PHP versions that isn't actively supported any more. I'm also happy to see PHP 8.0's growth, although PHP 8.0 and 8.1 combined only account for one third of all installs. It makes sense that it's easier picked up on for projects already on PHP 8.0, since it's fairly easy to upgrade from PHP 8.0 to PHP 8.1.

It's good to see PHP 8.1 being used in almost 10% of all composer installs, only one month after its release.
