Good job. Switched to PHP 7.4 yesterday. Ended up having a "MySQL server gone away" error when working with Laravel. Weirdly enough, the fix was to change MySQL authentication method to caching_sha2_password.
caching_sha2_password
MySQL 8.X uses caching_sha2_password as the default authentication mechanism.
I still had it on auth_socket as authentication mechanism (after I reinstalled MySQL).
