Support statement

- The PHP agent compatibility and requirements page should be consulted for the latest information on supported PHP versions and platforms.
重要
For installations using an unsupported PHP version or platform, it's highly recommended that you disable the auto-update mechanisms for the PHP agent packages. This can be done by adding the PHP agent packages to an exclusion list for package upgrades. Or you could version pin the PHP agent package to an agent version that supports the old, unsupported feature(s). Failure to prevent upgrades may result in a newer agent release being installed and the removal of support for the required, unsupported features. This would disrupt APM data collection. The PHP agent packages that are affected are:
- newrelic-php5
- newrelic-php5-common
- newrelic-daemon
