 ### PHP Version
 
-The PHP version provided is used to configure the underlying [PHP-Parser] Parser and Printer. This will not affect
-the PHP internal symbols used by PHP-Scoper but may affect what code can be parsed and how the code will be printed.
+The PHP version provided is used to configure the underlying [PHP-Parser] Parser and Printer. 
 
-If `null` or `''` (empty string) is given, then the host version will be used, i.e. executing it with PHP 8.4 will
-result in PHP 8.4 being used as the PHP version. 
+The version used by the Parser will affect what code it can understand, e.g. if it is configured in PHP 8.2 it will not
+understand a PHP 8.3 construct (e.g. typed class constants). However, what symbols are interpreted as internal will
+remain unchanged. The function `json_validate()` will be considered as internal even if the parser is configured with
+PHP 8.2.
+
+The printer version affects the code style. For example nowdocs and heredocs will be indented if the printer's PHP
+version is higher than 7.4 but will be formated without indent otherwise.
+
+If `null` or `''` (empty string) is given, then the host version will be used for the parser and 7.2 will be used for
+the printer. This allows PHP-Scoper to a PHP 7.2 compatible codebase without breaking its compatibility although the
+host version is a newer version.
