Answer 1

Follow the below steps:

• In PHP 7.4.3 duplicate "php.ini-development" file and rename it to "php.ini"
• Then, remove the semi-colons in front of "extension=openssl", "extension=mbstring", and "extension_dir = ext" inside the "php.ini" file.

This worked for me and I hope it helps someone else.
