2. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Core/Utility/PhpRequirements.php \Drupal\Core\Utility\PhpRequirements::getMinimumSupportedPhp()

Dynamically identifies the minimum supported PHP version based on the date.

Drupal automatically increases the minimum supported PHP version from \Drupal::MINIMUM_PHP to a newer version after PHP's documented end-of-life date for the previous version.

Below this version:

• New sites can be installed (to allow update deployment workflows that reinstall sites from configuration), but a warning is displayed in the installer that the PHP version is too old (except within tests).
• Updates from previous Drupal versions can be run, but users are warned that Drupal no longer supports that PHP version.
• An error is shown in the status report that the PHP version is too old.

Parameters

\DateTime|null $date: The DateTime to check. Defaults to the current datetime (now) if NULL.

Return value

string The minimum supported PHP version on the date in a PHP-standardized number format supported by version_compare(). For example, '8.0.2' or '8.1'. This will be the lowest PHP version above the minimum PHP version supported by Drupal that is still supported, or the highest known PHP version if no known versions are still supported.
