If you are getting started with PHP, start with the current stable release of [PHP 8.3][php-release]. PHP 8.x adds many [new features](#language_highlights) over the older 7.x and 5.x versions. The engine has been largely re-written, and PHP is now even quicker than older versions. PHP 8 is a major update of the language and contains many new features and optimizations.

You should try to upgrade to the latest stable version quickly - PHP 7.4 [is already End of Life][php-supported]. Upgrading is easy, as there are not many backwards compatibility breaks [PHP 8.0][php-bc-80], [PHP 8.1][php-bc-81], [PHP 8.2][php-bc-82], [PHP 8.3][php-bc-83]. If you are not sure which version a function or feature is in, you can check the PHP documentation on the [php.net][php-docs] website.
