php8.1 is in unstable and testing (e.g., will be in Bullseye):
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/php8.1

Debian doesn't add packages in stable releases (e.g., 11).  The only way 
to get php8.1 in an official repository would be via backports.  It looks 
as if someone has already requested a backport of php8.1, so perhaps you 
want to follow this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012615
