I have multiple projects based on PHP. Some require PHP version 5.x to run and other strictly require PHP 7.0 or above. I am working on these simultaneously. Is there a way to run multiple PHP versions such that I can switch between them when working on different projects.

Try these steps:
- Stop LAMP if running.
Download libphp7.so if you don't have
https://github.com/prashant-techindustan/php7module_library/blob/master/libphp7.so
Edit /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf (Comment out one of the following which is not needed):
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
Start LAMP
