How to install PHP8.2

[GoochDiscomfort]

What is the best way to install php8.2? Obviously it's out of date and most installations of Linux only come with 8.4. Trying to follow the guides but having a hard time not getting any PHP errors when accessing the site.

I've converted this Issue into a Discussion so it doesn't get lost among the bug reports.

As for PHP 8.2, it is indeed older than what ships with many current distros. To guide you correctly, could you please specify which Linux distribution and version you are running?

Debian 12 should use PHP 8.2 out of box.

But on other debian is best use this repository "https://packages.sury.org/php/"

They support already almost out-of-dated Debian 11 to Debian 13

But best will be support PHP 8.4 as PHP 8.2 will be End-Of-Life this year at December.
