self explanatory; I want to use the ‘dotlan’ host with the php and mysql packages at version 5.6.36 and 8.0.34 respectively. I think overlays are what to do here, but the build fails with:
nixos-rebuild --flake .#dotlan test --impure
building the system configuration...
error: builder for '/nix/store/zn72bfr25x8nvbk1bb1bzkryzbbn68rd-php-8.2.16.drv' failed with exit code 1;

PHP in Nixpkgs applies some patches so your overridden src needs to be compatible with that or the patch will fail to apply as you see:
Also the php package expects source of PHP project such as
you are passing it source for Nixpkgs:
Also note that just overriding the src and patches likely will not be sufficient. For example, we have a whole project dedicated just for providing such overlays for PHP, and it requires many other changes of both php itself and related packages.
You could try to obtain the package from an older snapshot of Nixpkgs (as found by something like Searching and installing old versions of Nix packages or Nixhub.io | Search Historical Versions of Nix Packages) but that might introduce breakages (e.g. loading mod_php from ancient Nixpkgs might have incompatible ABI with Apache from current Nixpkgs) and security issues (Nixpkgs snapshots will obviously not receive any updates).
thank you for your reply. I will try to use a different channel first.
I unfortunately need these old versions, as the software is specifically written for that.
I’ll give an update when I’m home
ok, am home now and tried some stuff, current version is updated, but fails with:

Flakes use pure evaluation mode, in which builtins.currectSystem is not available. You need to specify the system explicitly import <nixpkgs> { system = "…"; } (where <nixpkgs> is the fetchgit call in your case).

this works:
