    This was a lot of work for no upvotes. The perils of helping out uncommon distros. :-) Commented Jul 23, 2019 at 13:29

    @MyrddinEmrys: Ha! Yeah. FWIW, the package maintainer mentioned on one of the forums that they added a link to my answer on their wiki. I can't be the only one running Gentoo wanting more than one version of PHP, can I? Well, at least future me will benefit from this when I need to do it again in a few years!

  • Gentoo has masked php packages all together and it doesn't look supported anymore, so if you want php with gentoo it directs you to the php website: php.net/manual/en/install.php which puts you waist deep in the unix weeds. Upvote for effort. Ubuntu 20.04 works fine with php7.4, but those are binaries. Commented Nov 19, 2022 at 0:38
