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.
