phpBB 3.3.x takes advantage of new features added in PHP 7.2. We recommend that you upgrade to the latest stable release of PHP to run phpBB. The minimum version required is PHP 7.2.0 and the maximum supported version is the latest stable version of PHP.
Please remember that running any application on a development (unstable, e.g. a beta release) version of PHP can lead to strange/unexpected results which may appear to be bugs in the application. Therefore, we recommend you upgrade to the newest stable version of PHP before running phpBB. If you are running a development version of PHP please check any bugs you find on a system running a stable release before submitting.
