I did these steps,

  1. My old version is 7.3.11
  2. Downloaded PHP from https://windows.php.net/download#php-8.0-ts-vs16-x64
  3. Deleted old php folder and added the new library
  4. Modified ...\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file according to this:

Old:

LoadFile ".../xampp/php/php7ts.dll
LoadModule php7_module ".../xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

Now:

LoadFile ".../xampp/php/php8ts.dll
LoadModule php7_module ".../xampp/php/php8apache2_4.dll"

I think the php7_module after LoadModule is a variable. So, if I change it to php8_module, I may have to change everywhere.

Now, after starting apache, I'm getting this error: enter image description here

Just change LoadModule php7_module to LoadModule php_module and it will work!
