Hi, I just ran cvsup and upgraded PHP. I readed /usr/ports/UPDATING about new changes and installed php5 base and extensions. I chose MySQL-support when it asked me what to compile in php. Anyway, now I can't connect to MySQL with php. It says this when browsing php-sites:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in blah blah line blah

and it says this when I'm trying to browse PHPSysInfo:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function preg_split() in /usr/home/mikko/www/sysinfo/includes/os/class.FreeBSD.inc.php on line 46

What have I done wrong? I also tried downgrading to php4 but got those same errors, so it seems I've been messing up with something.

EDIT:
Php sysinfo's site says it shouldnt even work with PHP5, I'll try cvs-version for that. Still don't know what's wrong with MySQL.

EDIT 2:
And it seems that PhpSysinfo requires xml-module.. which I've also compiled in php, this is strange.

What does phpinfo(); say? It show what modules are loaded. Also you need to put the path to your modules directory in php.ini (look for "extension_dir = ").
The path is somewhere like:
/usr/local/lib/php/*some number*

Put that in that php.ini line to load the modules (extensions)

php 5 is still kind of iffy. It is out of beta and all, but I have run across numerous scripts that don't work with it yet, jfyi.

I personally don't care for the new method, I find it's a hassle to track down issues and it was never really well documented. Sure UPDATING talks about it, but there is a core number of default extensions that you find on most hosts (ones you take for granted). If you install php4 without installing the extensions your scripts don't work. Then you install the ones you think you need and you still run into issues.
What, I feel, needed to be documented is what base extensions were normally installed previously so you had an idea of what you should run. Plus setting up php properly just doubled in time and hassle.

I have a dev server and php4 has had issues since the upgrade. Not all the extensions work. Some (3 of them) kill httpd and cause a seg fault and if I don't include those, some of the scripts for things I need to maintain on my local server before uploading quit working - CubeCart, etc...

*rant over*

Since we are on this issue, anyone know *why* they decided to use this method? Is it a prep for php5?

Ok, I got it work now, only thing I had to change was module path. I also downgraded back to php 4, because most ready-to-use scripts don't seem to work perfectly yet. ;-)
