Upgrade Guide¶
Upgrading to V6¶
So you have decided to upgrade to v6! Congratulations!!
Phalcon v6 contains a near identical code with v5, to make the upgrade process as simple and painless as possible.
There are a couple of areas that have been reworked and changed that you should be aware of - and if you do not use that functionality, the upgrade can be a simple composer require command.
Requirements¶
PHP 8.1¶
Phalcon v6 has the same requirements as v5. PHP 8.1 active support has already expired, including security fixes. We will be supporting this version for a while longer, offering developers more time to upgrade their applications.
Since Phalcon 4, we have been following the PHP releases and adjusting Phalcon accordingly to work with those releases.
Installation¶
Phalcon can be installed using composer.
