Need to update Xampp php 7.3 to 7.4. Shows Apache error

one text

I need Xampp for Windows 32 bit with a php version of at least 7.4. I can only find a php version 7.3 which is too low. So I need to upgrade it.

I downloaded vc15 x86 threadsafe/zip from, php.net. I extracted it. Renamed xampp\php to xammp\php-old. I then copied php.ini-development to php.ini and made all the changes to php.ini as per this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir_ZewB_PHY

I restarted Xampp but its giving the error message: Error: Apache shut down unexpectedly. This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies..."

I dont have Skype/ Team Viewer or Anydesk open.

I changed the port settings of the httpd.conf File to listen to port 8080 instead of port 80. In http-ssl.conf I changed listen 443 to listen 4433.

I restarted Xampp but I'm still having errors. The Apache (error.log) reflects there errors.

I really dont know how to solve this and support will be greatly appreciated. My os is Windows 10 32 bit. I was told my laptop cant be upgraded to 64 bit.

Many thanks in advance.

I checked PHP module lines in my httpd-xamp.conf is correct.

LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php7ts.dll" LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/libpq.dll" `LoadModule php7_module "C:/xampp/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

I ran httpd.exe -t from the windows command prompt it it shows that the syntax is OK.

I ran httpd.exe -v and it shows Server version: Apache/2.4.38 (Win32)
