When upgrading the PHP version of your app service, you may need to update the web.config file to ensure that the correct version of PHP is being used. To do this, please see the below steps.

1. Open the Azure portal and navigate to your app service.
2. Click on "Configuration" in the left-hand menu.
3. Scroll down to the "General settings" section and click on "General".
4. Change the "Stack settings" to "PHP 8.0".
5. Click on "Save" to apply the changes.
6. Navigate to the "Advanced tools" section and click on "Go".
7. Click on "Debug console" and select "CMD".
8. Navigate to the site directory and open the wwwroot folder.
9. Locate the web.config file and open it.
10. Replace the existing <handlers> section with the following:

<handlers>
  <add name="PHP-FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v8.0\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Either" />
</handlers>

1. Save the changes to the web.config file.
2. Restart your app service.
