Hi Cristi,

Install php4-extensions; and then follow these instructions, which are
found in /usr/ports/lang/php4/pkg-message.mod:

***************************************************************

Make sure index.php is part of your DirectoryIndex.

You should add the following to your Apache configuration file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

***************************************************************

You're next big question may be whether to use apache 1.3 or apache 2,
as I keep seeing references on the internet about people having
problems with php and apache 2.

Best regards,

Andrew Gould
