Hi,

Please let me know if there is a planned end of life for the php5.5 runtime in Google App Engine.

Thanks

Hi Poe,

There are no well-defined plans to make PHP 5.5 runtime obsolete, and it is difficult and ultimately unproductive to speculate on the actual date when this is to be expected. Such dates might change due to last-minute considerations as well. Meanwhile, you are encouraged to migrate your apps to a newer PHP version, and a detailed guide is provided on the "Migrating Your App from PHP 5.5 to PHP 7.2" online documentation page.

Thank you. In case a decision to discontinue PHP5.5 is made by Google, how much in advance would this be announced?

Thanks

Hi Poe,

You should expect such unsupported version announcement to be made at least a year before the actual coming in effect. This offers enough time to plan for moving over to a newer version.
