Description

Remove references to end-of-life PHP versions (PHP 5.x and PHP 7.x) from .htaccess files.

Problem

Several .htaccess files contain:

1. <IfModule mod_php7.c> blocks — Duplicate configuration blocks for PHP 7.x alongside the mod_php.c blocks for PHP 8+. PHP 7.4 (the last 7.x release) reached EOL in November 2022, and Magento 2.4.7+ requires PHP 8.2+.

2. Suhosin extension reference — php_flag suhosin.session.cryptua off inside the mod_php7.c block. The Suhosin extension is abandoned and never supported PHP 7+, making this directive dead code even on PHP 7.

3. PHP 5 CGI references — Commented-out php5-cgi handler, x-mapp-php5 type definitions, and php5.ini references from hosting-specific workarounds that are over a decade old.

Solution

• Remove all <IfModule mod_php7.c> blocks (3 files)
• Remove commented-out PHP 5 CGI handler section
• Remove 1and1 hosting PHP 5 workaround
• Remove GoDaddy CGI section referencing php5.ini
• Keep all <IfModule mod_php.c> blocks (PHP 8+ compatible)

Files Changed

• pub/.htaccess (remove mod_php7 block, suhosin, PHP 5 CGI/hosting sections)
• pub/media/.htaccess (remove mod_php7 block)
• pub/static/.htaccess (remove mod_php7 block)
