Setup-PHP has an alias available for "PHP next" named `nightly`.
While this change doesn't remove the annual task of updating the matrix when a new PHP version gets released, it does make this update a little less error prone as updating the `continue-on-error` conditions lower down in the scripts (disconnected from the matrix set up) can easily be forgotten.
There are a few caveats to keep in mind about this change though:
* Manually updating the matrix and the workflow gives (of course) more control over the exact PHP versions being used.
* When using `nightly`, that control is relinquished partially to setup-php and partially to PHP itself as `nightly` will generally always be "PHP next".
This means that `nightly` will effectively become PHP `8.5` at the time when setup-php updates the alias, which can be at any point in time between PHP src branching off the PHP `8.4` branch (happened last week when the first RC was created) and the moment PHP `8.4` is released.
Note: there is [some discussion going](shivammathur/setup-php#867) to clarify when "nightly" becomes "PHP next next" (`8.5`). Looks like the current intention is to not change it until PHP 8.4 has been released.
You can always check exactly what version is used for `nightly` though, by folding out the "Set up PHP environment" step and checking the PHP version listed there.

The
PHP-8.4branch has been created for PHP 8.4, meaning thatmasteris now what will become PHP 8.5. It would be great if we were able to use8.4to reference nightly builds (until PHP 8.4.0 has been released, of course) of PHP 8.4 and8.5to reference nightly builds of PHP 8.5.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
