Can updating my Godaddy web server page to PHP 8.1 make my WeeWx uploads stop working?

[DR]

I am very naive when it comes to how many programs interact.

Yet, I generally like to keep the most recent updates to programs and
firmware up to date, for security and functionality.


I was recently at the Godaddy site checking a couple things on my
account and I see a notice that PHP 8.1 is available.

If I upgrade the site software (which I assume handles a lot of the
access and how web pages get shown to visitors), will it affect WeeWx in
any way?  Will my computer running Weewx still be able to generate web
pages which will be visible on the site?

I don't want to be enthusiastic about upgrading only to have to spend
time trying to back down from that move.


Thanks for any insight.  Dale

As long as the transfer (FTP?) to the webspace doesn't change (server url, port, credentials, ...) I wouldn't expect problems. Most likely your skin won't produce any php content, thus there won't be any PHP-related issues. The server will still deliver static content to the clients, at least from the web servers point of view .
