PHP 8.2 added readonly classes, disjunctive normal form (DNF) types, the true/false/null standalone types and deprecated dynamic properties. php-ci ships a fully maintained 8.2 image.

Property	Value

PHP branch	8.2.x
Status	Security fixes only

Support window

PHP 8.2 is in its security-only phase (upstream security support ends 31 Dec 2026). It remains a safe target for production but consider 8.3 for new projects.

When to use it

• Production applications that have completed their 8.2 migration.
• The minimum supported version for many current framework releases.

Run the suite

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/app" -w /app himanshuramavat/php-ci:8.2 \
  bash -c "composer install --no-interaction && ./vendor/bin/phpunit"

Language features available

• readonly classes
• Disjunctive Normal Form types ((A&B)|C)
• Standalone null, true and false types
• #[\AllowDynamicProperties] and the deprecation of undeclared dynamic properties
• New Random\Randomizer extension

Migration tip

The deprecation of dynamic properties is the most common source of new warnings. Surface them in CI before they become fatal in 9.0:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/app" -w /app himanshuramavat/php-ci:8.2 \
  bash -c "composer install --no-interaction && ./vendor/bin/phpunit --display-deprecations"
