Use the Current Stable Version (8.4)

If you are getting started with PHP, start with the current stable release of PHP 8.4. PHP 8.x adds many new features over the older 7.x and 5.x versions. The engine has been largely re-written, and PHP is now even quicker than older versions. PHP 8 is a major update of the language and contains many new features and optimizations.

You should try to upgrade to the latest stable version quickly - PHP 7.4 is already End of Life. Upgrading is easy, as there are not many backwards compatibility breaks PHP 8.0, PHP 8.1, PHP 8.2, PHP 8.3, PHP 8.4. If you are not sure which version a function or feature is in, you can check the PHP documentation on the php.net website.
