Only two PHP8* ports? That's nothing! I have 8 Python* ports installed!

Seriously, it is common in macports to have distinct ports or subports 
for different versions of software where users might want to keep 
multiple versions on hand for easy use.

The `port select` command lets you switch between these versioned ports. 
Type `port help select` in your shell to find out more.

Unfortunately, I do not see it described in the MacPorts Guide 
<https://guide.macports.org/> or the MacPorts wiki 
<https://trac.macports.org/search?q=%22port+select%22&noquickjump=1&wiki=on>. 


Does this answer your question?
