php 8.1 on High Sierra

I have old computer (without option to upgrade system) that i want take to my holidays for "emergency situations" instead of taking my whole new stuff. It is possible to install php 8.1 on High Sierra (to use with brew/Valet) or any other way? Currently i'm getting errors during installation (failed at installing jpeg-xl). I don't know if i can dig more to find solution or it is just a waste of time.

perhaps with virtualisation if you have enough memory?

You can install php 8.1 with MacPorts, it works for me.

There is the other option of installing Ubuntu on it also.
