Kevin,

The latest version of php5 did not work for me. In my case I had a new
install of a minimum system cvsuped to 6.1R P1 and then portsnapped before
install. Yes I had read updating before and I had been following the posts
re PHP5 and configured PHP5 with the apache module. What ever I did,
including asking on this list did not work - PHP5 refused to run. Most of
the replies I got said read updating - I refrained from relying read the
question.

In the end I ran out of time and installed centos which worked with no
problems with an earlier version of PHP5.
