Hello!

Update instructions (choose one of them):

1) remove all php ports and all ports that depends on php,
    then reinstall your the php applications

2) deinstall the removed ports,
    then upgrade recursively the lang/php5 port


To apply the patch (to a fresh ports tree):

cd /usr/ports&&  patch -p0 -E ~/php53.diff


Note: Zend decided to not support FreeBSD anymore, so a new
ZendOptimizer release for php 5.3 will never be released.

    Hmm... Wouldn't then be better to keep PHP 5.2 available in ports
(e.g. lang/php52)? Not only for the sake of FreeBSD-based WEB-servers
with ZendOptimizer port installed - I suspect there could be other
reasons to stay with PHP 5.2 while it's still available...

Agreed, php5.2 should be kept. There are lots of project which are yet
incompatible with php5.3, like zabbix1.6. PHP 5.3 has brought lots of
changes which are not backward-compatible.

I tried to discuss it earlier in this thread
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2009-November/057630.html but got no reply / not enough interest.

Maybe I will try to maintain my private PHP 5.2 version with extensions we are using for our clients.
