I found php8apache2_4.dll in the VS17 x64 Thread Safe version (2025-Jan-15 11:09:44).

I installed it, but the result when launching Apache remains the same:

Cannot load C:/Programmes/PHP/php8apache2_4.dll into server: The specified module could not be found.
Here is the PHP configuration in httpd.conf:

# before PHP 8.0.0 the name of the module was php7_module
LoadModule php_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/ext/php8apache2_4.dll"
    <FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
# configure the path to php.ini 
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP"

See #16718. TL;DR: there are almost certainly some dependencies of php8apache4_2.dll missing, i.e. they cannot be found by Apache. You can run deplister C:/Program Files/PHP/ext/php8apache2_4.dll from a console (deplister.exe is contained in the download), to see the dependencies. Make sure that all those files are in the path which is used by Apache (ignore whether deplister says "FOUND" or "NOT FOUND").

Possibly, the problem is that you've put php8apache2_4.dll in the ext/ folder.
