PHP can be stop by stopping the web-server service.
e.g.
# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
or
# apache2ctl stop
Would it be possible to stop PHP alone without disrupting apache2 service?

When PHP is running as a standalone service, php-fpm, you can stop it separately.
When PHP is running as an Apache module, you can't.

Thanks @Gerald Schneider. Here are 2 links on installing LAMP on Ubuntu. I should follow the 2nd link in order to have standalone PHP service right? 1. tecadmin.net/install-lamp-ubuntu-20-04 2. tecadmin.net/setup-apache-php-fpm-ubuntu-20-04– WolfNov 1, 2020 at 14:10
