Downgrade version to latest which support PHP 8.0

[imakeitworknet]

Hi, made a silly mistake. Built a multisite (multilanguage) Statamic website for a client using latest Statamic version 3.3.11. When I needed to move site to customer's server realized that it only supports up to PHP 8.0 . Now composer is not happy, and site does not work.

Which latest Statamic version supports PHP 8.0? Any tips to downgrade site now without rebuilding it manually?

Thanks!

Statamic 3.3 does support PHP 8.0

What error are you getting?

[imakeitworknet]

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2". , But it shows that client's (shared) server runs 8.0.1..

I've built site on VPS with PHP 8.1 and it worked fine.

they don't have a current version of php 8?

Try adding "php": "^8.0.1" to your composer.json's require block and run composer update. I think that might lower the requirement down low enough so that it'll install on your server.

Just tried it but still the same error.

Also tried to cheat - disabled Composer dependency errors. Now the site runs - both client side, and admin.
But there is still an issue - eveywhere where I used glide for images I get

"The Process class relies on proc_open, which is not available on your PHP installation." so glide images won't work :/

Also spoke with server admins - they're going to update PHP version "in a few weeks". If there would be a way to temporary fix Glide I think it would be fine until server update.

Just figured out that it's not the Statamic issue - one of the addons which compresses images throws that error. Removed the addon, and everything works just fine in hared hosting and PHP 8.0.1.

Thanks!
