In reply to sib. @Sib PHP 7 has reached its end of life (EOL). As of November 28, 2022, PHP 7.4, the last release in the PHP 7 series, is no longer receiving security updates or support. This means it's recommended to upgrade to PHP 8.x for continued security updates and support.

dnf module list php shows only PHP 8.1 and 8.2, no version 7 anymore.

You may get an error like this: [user@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf module enable php:7.4 Last metadata expiration check: 2:14:26 ago on Tue 05 Oct 2021 08:30:16 PM CEST. Dependencies resolved. The operation would result in the switching of module 'php' stream '7.2' to stream '7.4' Error: It is not possible to switch enabled streams of a module. It is recommended to remove all installed content from the module, and reset the module using the 'dnf module reset ' command. After you reset the module, you can install the other stream. If you do, you can fix it with these commands:

 [user@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf module reset php
 [user@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf module enable php:7.4
 [user@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf module switch-to php:7.4

Hope this helps
