Research direction

Start by locating the WordPress image configuration that defines the existing latest and versioned PHP tags. Check how tags are generated and published, then verify that the requested PHP-version tag tracks the latest available PHP image and is usable for plugin compatibility testing.

Description

Hi!

We currently have the tag "latest" for images with the latest WordPress version. Would it be possible to have another php-latest, phplatest or similar tag (in the same way as php8.1, php8.2, etc) to indicate the latest PHP version available?

It would be quite useful for plugin developers to test compatibility with the latest PHP version dynamically.

Thank you!
