> It seems like there is better tooling for running mixed versions of Node or Python than what I've experiences with PHP.
Yeah — the solution on a single machine is either containers or very careful use of different FPM environments, which has tripped me up more than once.
I think most of my inconsequential stuff is simply going to get moved to commercial hosting; my biggest problem right now is an entrenched application that has custom compilation of a PHP build before 8.1.
If you end up needing a backport on a custom pre-8.1 build, my team at Scraplay does exactly this for EOL PHP (custom builds included). Happy to help: luis.mendoza@scraplay.com
