Amazon Linux 2023 image not supporting php7.3 version

0

In my dockerfile I use the below as base image to build my application image. FROM public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:latest

Once there was change in the base image version change from AMI2 to 2023, my dockerfile fails to build most of the packages which includes php7.3 version. It support only version 8

Can I get any assistance on how to install the version 7.3 in 2023 image version.

I checked the documentation here and it seems that php 8.1 is indeed included.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ja_jp/linux/al2023/release-notes/new-packages.html

Amazon Linux 2023 cannot use the EPEL repository, according to the following documentation.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/compare-with-al2.html#epel

Therefore, installation of php 7.3 may need to be done from source.
