      --> more /usr/local/etc/php.conf
      PHP_VER=5
      PHP_VERSION=5.1.2
      PHP_PORT=${PORTSDIR}/lang/php5
      PHP_SAPI=full
 
 Wouldn't simply changing this file fix it?  Seems like overkill to
 deinstall and reinstall an entire port just to update a simple config file.
 
 Also, shouldn't the bsd.php.mk be updated to handle the backwards
 compatibility of a very recent port?  Seems like fixing the bsd.php.mk file
 to handle older but valid installations of PHP would be a better fix than
 re-upgrading to upgrade smarty...
 
 If you agree, I'll open a change request for the .mk file rather than
 smarty.
