Can you please explain in more detail what the issue is? Note that the option is called --with-libxml, not --with-libxml2.

configure: error: Package requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.7.6) were not met:

Package 'libxml-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML_CFLAGS
and LIBXML_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

As the error message indicates, you need to specify the libxml2 path using PKG_CONFIG_PATH. In your case, this is likely possible using:

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig"

But in 7.3, you can specify the directory

[root@c9dd73ba9bad php-7.3.6]# ./configure --help | grep libxml
  --disable-libxml        Disable LIBXML support
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   LIBXML: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   DOM: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   SimpleXML: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   SOAP: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   WDDX: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   XML: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   XMLReader: libxml2 install prefix
  --with-libxml-dir=DIR   XMLRPC-EPI: libxml2 install prefix

but 7.4 is not 7.3
7.4 relies on pkg-config
