If you want to switch PHP CLI version, follow these steps
If you just want to use another PHP version pour a Virtual host, like a old Drupal app, just change PHP version in NGINX conf.
sudo update-alternatives --config php
You will have a menu to choose PHP CLI version
Selection Path Priority Status

* 0 /usr/bin/php7.4 74 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/php7.2 72 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/php7.3 73 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/php7.4 74 manual mode
After change PHP version restart NGINX and restart PHP version you choose
sudo service nginx restart

Syntax
Concat variable into string:
<?php
$basic = "lists/".$list_test_id."/contacts"
<?php
$improved = "lists/${list_test_id}/contacts"
Errors
Error on function where everything is okay about syntax.
Type declaration
Check return data like:
<?php

It will works only with PHP 7.3, maybe NGINX VHost use a PHP version too old.
