Banyard has announced the RFC for deprecations planned for PHP 8.6, compiled over the past year by multiple contributors. Each deprecation will be voted on individually. The RFC must be finalized and frozen by July 13th. Some deprecations are expected to be non-controversial, while others may require separate RFCs or be dropped. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does the PHP deprecation RFC process work before a new major or minor version like PHP 8.6? Deprecations proposed for a PHP version are compiled collaboratively over the prior year into a single RFC, then voted on individually rather than as one block. Contributors with write access can add further items directly to the RFC before it is finalized. Under current RFC policy, the list must be frozen by a set deadline, and any deprecation deemed too controversial can be split into its own dedicated RFC or dropped entirely. _Follow daily.dev to catch PHP deprecation votes before they land in a release you depend on._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [\[RFC\] Deprecations for PHP 8.6](https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-mo2s2twyn) · externals.io · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [\[RFC\] Deprecations for PHP 8.6](https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-5lj3izdds) · externals.io · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [\[RFC\] Deprecations for PHP 8.6](https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-f9a8tnjwp) · externals.io · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#php](https://daily.dev/tags/php) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-pffd8tsf2) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"[RFC] Deprecations for PHP 8.6","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-pffd8tsf2","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/rfc-deprecations-for-php-8-6-pffd8tsf2"},"datePublished":"2026-06-22T13:30:23.987Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:34:37.003Z","description":"Gina P.
