## AI overview

Laravel Forge now supports installing PHP 8.1 Release Candidates on new or existing servers through the server creation flow or PHP management tab. Some Forge, PHP, and extension features may not work as expected, and PHP 8.1 must be reinstalled after it becomes stable.

## Source excerpt

Starting today, you may install PHP 8.1 Release Candidates by choosing "PHP 8.1 RC" while creating a new server. Or, you may install the release candidate on an existing server via the PHP tab on a server's management dashboard.
