After installing the php5 you will need to install the "php5-extensions-1.6" port: "/usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions". Be sure to run "make config" in the port prior to installing it. That also applies to the "php5-5.3.13" port: "/usr/ports/lang/php5", especially if you need support for Apache.

Re: PHP upgrade through port | SOLVED
Ok, solved; overlooked the /php5-extensions port. regards, Jos Chrispijn Jos Chrispijn: Hi Matthew, Thanks for your reply. For some reason that didn't work completely; must be because I am rather a newbie on this. Now I removed php5.2 all together from my FreeBSD server (including all related programs).

No -- use lang/php5-extensions. Like I said, anything with a php5- prefix is currently for php-5.3.x, however this will soon change so that php5- will mean php-5.4.x and to get php-5.3.x you'll need ports with a php53- prefix. But that hasn't happened yet, even though there are already some php53- ports in the tree (but not enabled yet). Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Re: PHP upgrade through port
Hi Matthew, Thanks for your reply. For some reason that didn't work completely; must be because I am rather a newbie on this. Now I removed php5.2 all together from my FreeBSD server (including all related programs). If I now want to install php 5.3, how do I install the extensions as there is no php53-extensions? Or should I use the php52-extensions instead? regards, Jos Matthew Seaman: On 13/05/2012 09:18, Jos Chrispijn wrote: Currently I use php52-5.2.17_8 but want to upgrade to php52-5.3.xxx through the ports.
