MAMP PHP estrictions

I installed MAMP latest and noticed that they only expose PHP 8.3.something as the highest version. The previous version of MAMP went up to 8.4.1 but they appear to have downgraded that with the most recent release, and have locked PHP 8.4+ away under MAMP Pro (which I don’t pay for).

Is this normal? Do they lock it away for a time period after a new release and then issue an update later to let regular MAMP users play, or do I have to look for a new LAMP stack on MacOS ARM?

I’m not sure. Their official changelog suggest PHP 8.5 is available on both MAMP & MAMP Pro.

Laravel Valet is free, works great and with a lower overhead, but is LEMP (nginx in the background, though you don’t have to muck with it at all) and not LAMP, so no htaccess. However, you can’t run the two side-by-side due to port clashes.
