There's nothing you can do if PHP 5.6 or 7.1 is not available. Adding PHP 8.x support to vB4 is a huge rewrite of the entire vB4 codebase. Your option is to upgrade to vB6 or find another host that has PHP 5.6 or 7.1 but you'll probably have the same issue again in the future. Having deprecated and unsupported PHP versions on the server is not secure. I understand why hosting providers do not allow older PHP versions on the server.
