www/php4-session broken?

[David Landgren]

I'm trying to finish upgrading my Apache+PHP+Mysql installation. I have 
pages that die with session problems. I thought that session handling 
was native within the php distro.

(php-4.4.2)

% more Makefile

# New ports collection makefile for:    php4-session
# Date created:                 7 Jul 2004

% make
===>  php4-session-4.4.2_2 is marked as broken: Unknown component no.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/php4-session.


Is there another (new?) way of dealing with sessions in PHP? I searched 
for similar discussions on the matter but drew a blank. But surely I 
can't be the first person to be running into this?

Thanks,
David Landgren
