Remi Collet has released PHP 8.3.0 packages for Linux distributions based on Fedora and RHEL.

PHP version 8.3.0 is released!

RC6 was GOLD, so version  8.3.0 GA is just released, at planned date.

A great thanks to Eric Mann, Jakub Zelenka, and Pierrick Charron our Release Managers,  to all developers who have contributed to this new long awaiting version of PHP, and thanks to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good quality version.

RPM are available in the php:remi-8.3 module for Fedora and Enterprise Linux ≥ 8 and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository.

RPM are also available in the remi-php83 repository for  Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL, CentOS, Alma, Rocky...).

Read the  PHP 8.3.0 Release Announcement and its  Addendum for new features detailed description.

For memory, this is the result of 6 months of work for me to provide these packages, starting in  June for Software Collections of alpha versions, in  August for module streams of RC versions, and also a lot of work on  extensions to provide a mostly full PHP 8.3 stack.

Installation: read the  Repository configuration and choose installation mode, or follow the  Configuration Wizard instructions.

Replacement of default PHP by version 8.3 installation (simplest):

Fedora modular or Enterprise Linux ≥ 8:

dnf module reset php
dnf module install php:remi-8.3

Enterprise Linux 7:

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php83
yum update php\*

Parallel installation of version 8.3 as  Software Collection (recommended for tests):

yum install php83

To be noticed :

• EL9 RPMs are build using RHEL-9.2
• EL8 RPMs are build using RHEL-8.8
• EL7 RPMs are build using RHEL-7.9
• this version will also be the default version in  Fedora 40
• lot of extensions are already available, see the  PECL extension RPM status page.
