I encountered exactly this issue a few days ago. Was suprised to find that I couldn't find phpmyadmin built against php70 in packages, so built php70 then built phpmyadmin. This was easy just using the ports framework. I hope the ability to use the ports tree like this never disappears as it's one of freebsd's great strengths i think. I'd use packages more were it not for the received wisdom that mixing packages and ports is a Bad Thing (tm) - is this still the case? -- J.
