phpmyadmin loads in PHP 7.4 environment instead of PHP 8.2?

[Benjamin D.]

I'm under WHM 108.0.14 with PHP 8.2 set as the default PHP release under MultiPHP.

Whenever I launch phpmyadmin from any cPanel account, it reports running under PHP 7.4 (which is really outdated by now). Why is that and how can I fix that? I have tried to reboot the whole server just in case there was a glitch with the 108.0.14 update but it still loads under PHP 7.4.

It reports the following:

• cpsrvd 11.108.0.14
• Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 7.4.33
• PHP extension: mysqli curl mbstring
• PHP version: 7.4.33

I ran EasyApache 4 and it updated a couple PHP modules/extensions, but it's still the same after the provision.

PHP 7.4 is the cPanel internal PHP version.
It will be 8.1 in cPanel 110.

cPanel PHP Upgrade from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.1 | cPanel & WHM Documentation

In cPanel & WHM version 110, we upgraded internal cPanel PHP from version 7.4 to 8.1.

I see, thanks. I would have expected cPanel to spend their development budget on upgrading PHP instead of pushing, sorry FORCING, that ugly Jupiter theme in 108.0. PHP 7.4 has been retired for 4 months by now. Kind of weird I literally just upgraded to 108.0 yesterday through the stable channel. It's getting late to upgrade to PHP 8.
