There is an entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING: 20040719: AFFECTS: users of PHP AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new features. Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions). PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular extensions individually. If you have a previous php.ini configuration file, be sure to comment out the extension_dir parameter, since the correct path is statically compiled into the PHP binary. For an overview of the modules used with the old PHP binary, use the command "php -m". This is why it is always recommended for all FreeBSD users to monitor the /usr/ports/UPDATING after they do cvsup of their ports system. Any major changes in the ports tree will and should appear in the UPDATING file. -- Chris Haulmark System Admin.
