I run a Wordpress website whose legacy code is incompatible with PHP8 and want to run a local copy for test and updating purposes. (The host service for the running site uses PHP7.4 with which the code is compatible.) Under Ubuntu MATE 22.04 I have apache using PHP7.4, PHP7.4 itself, and mySQL. I am missing phpmyadmin. The current phpadmin version calls in some PHP8 dependencies and gives me a blank screen. Is there a way to get a working phpmyadmin using PHP7.4? Advice or a pointer to it would be appreciated.
Just an idea: to try download and install phpmyadmin directly from phpMyAdmin - Downloads

I think that will work though it's a bit of a palaver building from the available kits. I will try it and hope the instructions work OK using my limited knowledge.

I have failed to overcome the problem of getting phpmyadmin to work, but am instead using mysql Workbench to access the database tables etc. It would still be interesting to be able to get phpmyadmin to work, though.
