I'm pretty sure it was removed because of the changes the PHP guys made in the 4.3.x installation process. By default, the mod_php4 port will install the apache module *and* the CLI version of /usr/local/bin/php. There is also a CGI version of this binary (installed as the same name), which is impossible to install via ports without editing the Makefile. See here for more: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=5c87221d.0302181422.67fc86eb%40posting.google.com Regardless, i think we should definitely have a port for the php standalone binary somewhere, since not everyone needs or wants apache. And, ideally, i'd like to see an option in mod_php4 or a separate port so i can install the CGI version of the binary. Course then someone has to decide: when to install PEAR, if the two separate binaries will have different names, what ini file(s) will they read, etc. -- HOSTBABY.COM - web hosting for musicians Ryan O'Neill - ryan@hostbaby.com http://www.hostbaby.com
