The same problem exists with php8.1 and php8.2, don't know if creating separate issues is necessary.

[rashil2000]

The URL is created by substituting the version in the link:

PHP/bucket/php8.0.json

Line 34 in 1332fc0

"url": "https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-$version-Win32-vs16-x64.zip"

So unless this is modified to look in the archives subfolder, installing an older version will not work.

Now the problem is that this subfolder does not contain the last release of a major version (for e.g. it does not contain 8.0.30).

[soulflyman]

Does scoop allow adding multiple domains as mirror, so scoop will check the first URL and if it fails it tries the next in the list?

This would allow us to define https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases as the first and main download URL and https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives as the alternative download location.
