Is it possible to set different PHP versions for separate projects and run them simultaneously

Is it possible to set different PHP versions for separate projects and run them simultaneously

For example project A should use 7.4 and project should use 8.3

Thanks

Duplicate #416 - short answer: No. But you can use profiles for an easy switch. And there is a workaround:

Amazingly, this worked for me! However, images were not loading correctly, especially .svg files, which failed to appear on the page.

The issue occurred because, after setting SetHandler application/x-httpd-php70-cgi, every file was being served by CGI as PHP.

I resolved this by configuring the CGI handler to apply only to PHP files in .htaccess file:

Handle PHP files using this specific CGI handler

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php70-cgi
</FilesMatch>

Now even laragon has php 8 by defualt in my case but my projects can use php7 (or any specified version by sethandler) without switching php version in laragon.

@asif-ca nice! I didn't test this by myself. But with your additional information, I can reply to others who are asking the same question.

It's a personal opinion, but it would be nice if:

1. PHP version per site were enabled as standard; and
2. The UI supported setting this.
