/usr/ports/www/php5/extensions# cat pkg/DESCR-main
This is a place-holder package to inform you that the PHP port is
now split into small sub-packages, designed to allow you to install
modules independently of the main PHP engine.
For example, to install the IMAP module, just pkg_add the
php5-imap-${V}.tgz package and activate it using the
'phpxs' command.
This package contains no files or dependencies and may be
safely uninstalled.
Cheers,
Stephan
