- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes upstream fixed releases from vendor backports, which may leave version numbers looking older than their actual patch state.
Field notes
The checker asks for the full PHP version number and says the entry stays in the browser. Guidance branches by hosting arrangement and responsibility, with separate paths for site owners, server operators, and client managers. The version table also cautions that Linux distributions and hosts may backport fixes, so a lower-looking version number alone may not reveal patch status.
