I hope you charge for it.

That said there are languages where very little backward incompatible changes are made. Java comes to mind.

Also: putting each client in a sandbox (VM, VPS, etc) can help you to keep some clients on the old versions, and/or do PHP interpreter migrations on your own timeline.

I do and appreciate the job security but I respect my clients (small biz owners) and it's just not satisfying and for the 10% that have issues, costly.

Java used to be like that, but the migration to the module system has been very rocky for me personally when revisiting older projects.

Don't update php and freeze the files and the database so they can't be hacked.

Sure, but what stops them from modifying the database?
