Description

The php component is pinned to nixos 22-05 because php74 has been dropped due to the lack of maintenance from upstream for future releases

composer2nix fails to build https://github.com/svanderburg/composer2nix/issues/37

latest dependency update was in 2021

maybe rewrite the component in rust if that's possible

Research direction

Start by inspecting the php component's dependency pin to NixOS 22-05 and reproduce the composer2nix failure described in issue 37. Determine whether updating the dependencies resolves the build; rewriting the component in Rust is only a possible direction, so the finished scope is not defined by this issue.
