 Reviewing the documentation on the [https://wordpress.org/support/update-
 php/ Update PHP] page, it says:

 ''Your website will be more secure. PHP, like WordPress, is maintained by
 its community. Because PHP is so popular, it is a target for hackers - but
 the latest version will have the latest security features. Older versions
 of PHP (below 7.4) don't have them, so upgrading is essential to keep your
 WordPress site secure.''

 This is not entirely true, as currently the PHP community does not support
 versions lower than PHP 8.1.
