      The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been splitted into 'base'
    PHP,
      PEAR, and shared extensions to allow more flexibility and add new
    features.
      Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 'base' PHP
      installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
      PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and devel/php5-pear
    ports, while
      the set of PHP extensions to install can be choosen via the meta-ports
      lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing singular
      extensions individually.
