How did you end up having PHP on your local machine? 😀
Did you install the PHP software manually? Or did it come bundled with some local “server” software stack? Is it “Local” by FlyWheel (from LocalWP.com)?
I thought PHP is ‘built-in’ in WordPress and hence not matter where I have it installed I need to update it?. Isn;t this correct ?
KIndly let me know
Thanks
