@uintaam
Make sure the user you are running the github actions runner has the required access and password less sudo.
Ref: https://github.com/shivammathur/setup-php/wiki/Dockerized-self-hosted-runner-on-Linux

For example to add a user called runner

adduser --disabled-password --gecos '' runner
usermod -aG sudo runner
mkdir -m 777 -p /home/runner
sed -i 's/%sudo\s.*/%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD : ALL/g' /etc/sudoers

Add the runner as this user, then you should be able to run setup-php without any issues on the codebuild standard 7.0 container.
