-If you are stuck in an older environment, ExpressionEngine _can_ run on PHP 7.2.5+ with 32M of memory, and MySQL 5.5.3+. PHP-FPM is also optional, but [tends to handily outperform mod_php](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/php-fpm-on-cloud/). That said,running older versions not only hurts performance—increasing the cost of your website—but also puts your site **at risk of security vulnerabilities**. The PHP Group stopped providing support for PHP 5.6 [on December 31, 2018](https://php.net/supported-versions.php). Oracle also ceased providing support for MySQL 5.5 at the same time.
