I tried upgrading PHP from 5.3 to 5.4 version yesterday. The upgrade worked well as expected, however it turns out that my system runs some locally written PHP that is not yet compatible with 5.4 so I needed to go back to 5.3 for now. This worked fine for that purpose: portmaster -o lang/php53 lang/php5 However, this did not work well for the PHP extensions meta-port: portmaster -o lang/php53-extensions lang/php5-extensions This replaced the ...-extensions port as expected, and pulled in all the 5.3 versions of my selected extensions; but the pulled-in 5.3 extensions were installed IN ADDITION TO the already installed 5.4 ones. What I ended up with is all my selected extensions installed for both PHP 5.3 and 5.4: php5-ctype-5.4.4 php5-curl-5.4.4 php5-dba-5.4.4 php5-dom-5.4.4 php5-filter-5.4.4 php5-gd-5.4.4 php5-hash-5.4.4 php5-iconv-5.4.4 php5-json-5.4.4 php5-ldap-5.4.4 php5-mysql-5.4.4 php5-mysqli-5.4.4 php5-pdo-5.4.4 php5-pdo_sqlite-5.4.4 php5-phar-5.4.4 php5-posix-5.4.4 php5-session-5.4.4 php5-simplexml-5.4.4 php5-sqlite3-5.4.4 php5-tokenizer-5.4.4 php5-xml-5.4.4 php5-xmlreader-5.4.4 php5-xmlwriter-5.4.4 php5-xsl-5.4.4 php5-zip-5.4.4 php53-5.3.14 php53-ctype-5.3.14 php53-curl-5.3.14 php53-dba-5.3.14 php53-dom-5.3.14 php53-extensions-1.6 php53-filter-5.3.14 php53-gd-5.3.14 php53-hash-5.3.14 php53-iconv-5.3.14 php53-json-5.3.14 php53-ldap-5.3.14 php53-mysql-5.3.14 php53-mysqli-5.3.14 php53-pdo-5.3.14 php53-pdo_sqlite-5.3.14 php53-phar-5.3.14 php53-posix-5.3.14 php53-session-5.3.14 php53-simplexml-5.3.14 php53-sqlite-5.3.14 php53-sqlite3-5.3.14 php53-tokenizer-5.3.14 php53-xml-5.3.14 php53-xmlreader-5.3.14 php53-xmlwriter-5.3.14 php53-xsl-5.3.14 php53-zip-5.3.14 I don't know how to recover from this short of uninstalling all of the PHP ports and then installing from scratch. Also at some point I will want to replace 5.3 with 5.4 again, and I don't want to end up with the same issue. How have folks been swapping between these PHP port versions?
