_**Editorial note:** As of January 29, 2025, this release note has been edited to amend the action required. Where previously we required upgrading 5.3 and 5.5 to 7.2 we are now allowing upgrades to 5.6 as well. This can be helpful if you choose to upgrade PHP versions incrementally rather than making the jump to 7.x_
<hr/>
As part of our continued effort to protect and secure customer sites, the Pantheon platform will no longer offer PHP versions 5.3 and 5.5 as of February 25, 2025.

PHP 5.5 was declared end-of-life (EOL) by [the PHP Foundation](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) on July 21, 2016, more than eight years ago. EOL software does not receive security or feature updates, and could expose sites to attack if any vulnerabilities or exploits are discovered.

We will soon provide long term support (LTS) security coverage for the remaining EOL versions of PHP on the platform.

## Action required

Customers with sites using PHP 5.3 and 5.5 should test and [upgrade the PHP version](/guides/php/php-versions) to at least PHP 5.6. If no action is taken, sites using PHP 5.3 and 5.5 will be auto-upgraded to PHP 5.6 on February 25, 2025. Pantheon [currently recommends](/guides/php#supported-php-versions) at least PHP 8.1 for all production sites.
