Been trying to get multiple versions of PHP on a CentOS 7 machine, off and on for the past couple months. I have followed 5 or 6 different howtos but none work. They are very similar and they seems to be done on a fresh install as most do an apache install is the steps. I setup two virtualhosts one for PHP5.6 and one for PHP 7.4. When I create a file with phpinfo, it reports back 5.6.xxx on both sites.
You should be using Software Collections to install additional versions:

Instead of running PHP within the Apache binary, use a proxy. I suggest learning how to use fcgi. Your VirtualHost could include a directive like this:
SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
Install rh-php73-php-fpm (for example) with yum to run the proxy service.
