Roundcube 1.6 only goes up to PHP 8.3 AFAIK. If you want 8.4 or later <br>
you should be looking at Roundcube 1.7 (which is in beta). They're quite <br>
good about listing the minimum version that's supported, but not the <br>
maximum but it's implied in the release notes for the newer versions <br>
(i.e. "now supports PHP 8.4").<br>
<br>
That's not to say 1.6 won't work with 8.4 - just that they're too busy <br>
testing 1.7 to regression test the older versions.<br>
<br>
I'm running most of my roundcube instances with PHP v8.4.10 and Apache <br>
2.4.63 FWIW. No one's complained :-) I just download roundcube from <br>
github and plonk it in a directory, BTW.<br>
<br>
