is there any reason for specific version 7.4 instead of current?

Is php74-pdo installed ?

If yes, is mariadb installed & configured ?
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PHP#MySQL/MariaDB

I doubt that

usually most languages are quite good in forward-compatibility
so - is there any code that specifically requires php7 which does not work with current php8?
or was php7 just the current major back when the code was written / last revised and all works correctly with current php8?

just because someone states "requires language X in specific version Y.Z" in most cases doesn't even mean "requires at least major Y" but often just "written in language X"

to save yourself further stress: check if you really need php7(.4) or if the code works correctly with php8
if and only if you really need php7 it would be even worth to deal with it - unless it's just simpler to rewrite the problematic code

same goes for any dependencies and libraries: check if any really needs the older version and check for updates compatible with current php (lib updates should be designed as drop-in replacements - unless a new major version was released)

to me this sounds like an XY-problem: someone who doesn't know better tasked you as a developer to revise some old code and gave you what they had
you as the tasked developer should know better - as in the end from what I get it's your job the deliver something more up-to-date - work smart not hard

... unless you get payed by the hour ... but I guess if so you wouldn't ask such kind of questions
