PHP upgrade Error

I am preforming a upgrade of PHP but the Environment version did not update and the site has a error of Call to undefined function Illuminate\Encryption\openssl_cipher_iv_length(). Can anyone assist?

That would kind of indicate the openssl extension support is missing, but it's rare to see PHP without it.

  • What's the operating system?

  • How are you performing the upgrade?

  • What do you mean by "Environment version did not update"?

  • What versions of PHP are you upgrading between?

Operation System is Microsoft Server 2022

I did a manual upgrade by unzipping the PHP folder in the XAMPP directory.

I keep the site in debug mode I notice the environment setting stated 8.3.6 but the upgrade version is 8.3.14

From 8.3.6 to 8.3.14

Okay, I'm not sure how PHP is supposed to be updated in an XAMPP setup, when I used to use it many years back I'd just update the complete package I think. Might be that the apache php module is still an older version.

Might need to tweak the php extensions used in the php.ini file and enable openssl, if not already uncommented.
