My system runs on php7.4 in a windows app service in Azure. I need to update my system to use php8.2 .

Understand, that php8.0 and above runs on Linux App Services now. Is there a way to upgrade my current windows app service(that runs php7.4) to Linux app service to be compatible with php8.2?

Or, Do I need to create an entirely new App Service and re-setup the custom domain name and etc to support php8.2?

    @Zahmi Zuhair Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

    Yes, you need to redeploy your application and reconfigure the custom domain to a app service on Linux app service plan since starting from php 8.0 is supported only on Linux app service plans and also, we don't have any mechanism to move the php application which are targeting from windows-based app service plan to Linux based app service plan.

    Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
