Installing old packages

[rapapwa]

I've got an older version of PHP installed (5.2.10) and I want to install extensions that will be compatible with this version. Can I use pkg_add to install these packages? For example how do I do something like pkg_add php5-pdo_mysql-5.2.10.tbz and have it fetch from the right server?

I'm running FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 amd64

Install databases/php52-pdo_mysql.

Install databases/php52-pdo_mysql.

Getting an error code when I tried that.

===>  php52-pdo_mysql-5.2.17 cannot install: doesn't work with PHP version : 5 (Doesn't support PHP 4 5).
*** Error code 1

You probably have PHP 5.3.x installed.

I have 5.2.10 installed but I think this port is expecting a version 5.2.17

php --version

Any reason why you cannot upgrade PHP 5.2.10 to 5.2.17?

This what I ended up doing.
