You might find that someone has packaged the version you desire in the COPR system. I used that for BackupPC 4 before it was available in EPEL.

If it's unmaintained you might not want to use it, especially if Software weaknesses might be exploited remotely. Regarding the php SCLs by RedHat (which were rebuilt by a CentOS Sig): You will not get security updates for php < 7.3. Best Regards, Markus
