Wordpress: Support for PHP8 ?

[haszari]

Is it possible to add PHP8 support to this image so it can be used for testing/developing PHP8 compatibility of WordPress plugins and themes?

I use a docker environment based on this image and it would be great if I could build a variation of my dev env with PHP8 installed.

Let me know I can help 😄

I see that the php image has 8.0-rc support.

We only publish the officially released WordPress version, which is currently 5.5, and https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/10/06/call-for-testing-php-8-0/ seems to be asking for folks to test the upcoming 5.6 on PHP 8.0, which I think makes more sense for us to wait for.

WordPress 5.6 and PHP 8.0 are now officially out. WP 5.6 officially supports PHP 8. I think it is time to add add a PHP 8 image
