What is the current status of the php53 port? I've googled up a lot of bad press regarding v5.3+ dating back to 2009 and I can speak from experience (this July, 2011) that an inadvertent install of v5.3.6_1 disabled several of my services including WebCalendar, ZenPhoto, and Simple Machine Forum. All are dependent on the PHP MySQL extensions interaction with Apache v2.2.11.
I don't know for sure where the port for php53 came from. I can't find it in the Ports tree. I recently installed both Samba and OpenLDAP and during the make of one or the other (I think it was OpenLDAP), I notice the verbose make scrolling various messages regarding MySQL and PHP . . .very unsettling. At the end of the process, I screen-scraped the following evidence that yes indeed, php5-5.3.6_1 had been installed (but not asked for).
By the way, I've started running all makes with SDTOUT redirected to an *.out file, e.g.,
[CMD=""]# make build > make_build_whatever.out[/CMD]
[CMD=""]# make build > make_install_whatever.out[/CMD] (. . .helps my recollection when messages are flying by at Mach-3.)
I do know that the installation of PHP v5.3.6 was successful because phpinfo() displayed the v5.3.6 information. (FYI, create a one-line PHP script with this code: <? phpinfo(); ?> and call from a browser.)
All said, I've reverted back to PHP v5.2.17_1 and I also performed a deinstall and (re)install of the following:
Note that regarding the mysql-client versions, v5.5.13 was replaced by upgrade to v5.5.14 (apparently a minor upgrade); however, the deinstalled version of the mysql-server was v5.5.5_1 . . .where did that come from? The reinstalled from ports version is "earlier" v5.5.14.
