Hello,
Was removing the major version from apache module done on purpose or did it just kind of happen
(kind of feels like an afterthought since it isn’t listed under “Backward Incompatible
Changes”)?
We ask because cPanel relies on the major-version pattern of the last 25 years and, while changing
it in future versions is possible, it will be an expensive change and users on older versions will
be left out in the cold. The situation it causes where similarly expressed by the first sentence in
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78681 <https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78681>
Any chance of reverting that change? If not, we’ll most likely be retiring DSO from PHP 8 on. I
will send a link with more details later today in case it helps.
Thanks!
