 I had received the following message from Advanced Software
 Engineering, they are now providing versioned files so that the port
 won't break when they put newer versions on the server.  If you could
 resubmit your patch to use the versioned files, then I'll approve the
 upgrade, as my system is currently down.
 
 NOTE: DISTNAME will need to be changed to:
 
 DISTVERSION=${PORTVERSION:<something to strip the periods out>}
 
 .if ${ARCH} == "amd64"
 DISTNAME=	chartdir_php_freebsd_64_${DISTVERSION}
 .else
 DISTNAME=	chartdir_php_freebsd_${DISTVERSION}
 .endif
