Your using short tags. Depending on your php.ini settings those may not be on by default any longer.

They should be off by default.

If you need them, turn then on per vhost or per .htaccess with php admin value. I have not seen a short tag ( <? ... ?> versus <?php ... ? > ) in years.

 "For portable, redistributable code, be sure not to use short tags.”

Php5 has a few other areas to keep an eye on. The location in the date section of your php.ini should be set, no longer trusting the system for time zones. It will mark a verbose note in phpinfo on where to look.

In order to get GD to work you probably have to enable it. That was probably mentioned in a message when you installed it. If you installed with -d (debug) you may have missed it. You can always issue "port edit php5-whatever" to look at the port instruction file. Look for the ui messages which are what print notes to stdout when you install.

A patch to php5 was just released. I feel an important one as it leads to config data exposure and segfaulting if not handled. I'm not sure if this patch is in the wild yet, but do look to apply this patch via a php5 rebuild as soon as possible.

Yes, I did follow all the steps. The only difference I noticed was in
the phpinfo() test file. Whereas I originally had <? phpinfo() ?>, the
MAMP instructions specify <?php phpinfo() ?>. The MAMP test file works.
I don't know if this a new feature or a bug.

I have also installed the php5-gd package but do not see the gd5 module
listed in the phpinfo() output. Are there special instructions for
getting that capability?

Thanks to all for your input.

Apache starts and runs fine and server html pages. However when

else.

Did you follow all the steps shown in the how-to?
