PHP 8.4.5 update fixes crucial memory leaks and bugs in Fedora 42, improving stability and security.
PHP version 8.4.5 (13 Mar 2025) BCMath: Fixed bug GH-17398 (bcmul memory leak)

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
