when i install nextcloud it also installs php-7.3.31 and php-7.4.24,
this is probably due to dev-php/imagick-3.5.1
if i install roundcube with use="change-password" php-8.0.11 is needed.
i used use="-imagemagick" for nextcloud, and
all packages could agree on php-8.0.11.
1.if an application requires 2 different versions this can't work,
apache only uses one or?
2.if in the ebuild of dev-php/imagick-3.5.1
USE_PHP="php7-3 php7-4 php8-0"
what does that mean?

PHP is slotted, so it's not too unusual for multiple versions to be
installed at the same time. An "emerge --depclean" may later remove
the older one. But this alone is no cause for alarm.

No, you're right. Whichever one you've eselected (if you're using
apache's mod_php) is the one that will be used, and not all of the
options will work with every installed PHP application. It doesn't
make a ton of sense, but PHP is relatively stable these days. So, uh,
good luck.

C-language extensions like pecl-imagick are compiled against PHP. The
USE_PHP variable declares which versions they may be compiled
against. Then the user-facing variable PHP_TARGETS says which ones you
want. What you ultimately get is the intersection of USE_PHP and
PHP_TARGETS.
1 day, 1 emerge --sync, 1 update later: php-7.4 is additionally
installed. for a php application i would expect that 1 php version is
enough. but depending on the use flag this is not the case for
nextcloud and roundcube, 2 versions are installed each.
