[https://wordpress.org/about/stats/ PHP versions] over the past year.
It looks like the numbers for Feb 2022 come from comment:62, but the data
there is actually for Feb 2023, it's just that the label was incorrect
(updated now).
Here's the current data for April:
||='''Month/Year'''=||='''PHP 5.6'''=||='''PHP 7.0'''=||='''PHP
7.1'''=||='''Total'''=||
||Apr 2022||6.6||3.7||2.7||13.0||
||Apr 2023||4.4||2.3||1.6||8.3||
So the total use of PHP < 7.2 actually dropped 4.7% over the last year.
