Laminas-db compatibility with PHP8.4

Hello everybody,
we are using Laminas-DB and are in the process of upgrading to PHP8.4. Laminas-DB requires versions 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.

Is there a timeline when Laminas-DB will be available for PHP 8.4?

Thank you for your contribution here.

Best regards
Roland

  • keeping it running
  • security maintenance

In order for laminas/laminas-db to receive new features, improvements and refactoring anything, we need an active maintainer that owns changes applied to the project.

Without such a maintainer, the architectural vision of the project is not there, and any changes landing it it would mostly be “random”, or perhaps just generate chaos and instability.

So, laminas-db is currently in need of a maintainer who can make it compatible to PHP 8.4.

The support of PHP 8.4 can be added without a maintainer. The real problem is Microsoft:
