How to run a website locally under a different version of php on linux?

Question

PHP

Good time. The essence of the question is that there are virtual hosts under apache2 on Linux, php7 is installed by default. But there was a need to install an old version of one cms that requires a mysql driver, which is no longer on php7. Can this standalone website be run under a different version of php?
If possible, a link to a resource describing the process. Thank you!
