This needs fixing. Wow, I found them fairly intuitive: php4-ftp adds the ftp extension php4-pgsql adds the pgsql extension php4-mysqli adds teh mysqli_* functions php4-session adds session support ... the port itself is self-describing, or so *I* thought ... what do you find confusing about the format? Does your mind somehow truncate once you hit the - and dooesn't register teh -pgsql part of it? so you need a long pkg-descr that states: Thie port add the pgsql extension to php4 ? ---- Marc G.
