Installing PHP with all the proper extensions can be a little tricky. The easiest way to do it (assuming you've already got your preferred version of Apache up and running) is as follows... first, head to /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 and make install clean. There isn't too much to be aware of here, except to make sure you either do or don't check "use Apache2" depending on whether your version of Apache is 1.x or 2.x.
Next, head to /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions and make install - this time, though, you might want to leave the "clean" off. This one's lots more fun - this is where you get to pick and choose capabilities for everything from MySQL (or other SQL server variants) support, PDF library support, image manipulation... you name it. Pick everything you need, but try not to pick anything you DON'T need - remember, "just what you need and no more" is always better (and more secure) than "everything but the kitchen sink". You can always come back later and add more extensions if you need to - all you have to do to change which extensions you're building is type mak
