LOCALDECK GUIDE

Use PHP 8.5 locally on Windows

LocalDeck includes PHP 8.2 through 8.5 and routes projects through separate FastCGI profiles.

Choose a PHP version

Select PHP 8.5 on the project and let LocalDeck activate the matching handler, port, and configuration. Other projects can keep their own version.

Check compatibility

Run Composer checks, application tests, and LocalDeck diagnostics before permanently moving an existing project to a newer PHP version.

Written for LocalDeck 1.0.0

After every migration, verify your project, database, and local mail before removing the old environment.
