Hi!

> Unless I am mistaken, the default version of PHP in FreeBSD is "version 7.1".
> According to the PHP page, the 7.1 version was released on December 1, 2016,
> Its EOL is scheduled for December 1, 2018 (this year) and security support
> ends on December 1, 2019.

> Wouldn't it be a wise decision to up the default version of PHP in FreeBSD to

Yes, although: the php maintainer currently is busy with his family.

So please be patient, this will happen.
