Here are the dependencies for php5 on my machine:
php5 has library dependencies on:
libxml2
libxslt
openssl
zlib
libiconv
expat
gettext
tiff
mhash
libmcrypt
curl
pcre
jpeg
libpng
freetype
When i originally tried installing php5 again it required a higher version of pcre than i had. so I deactivated the old version and installed the new version:
The following ports are currently installed:
pcre @4.5_0 (active)
pcre @7.1_1+utf8
But I can't see to deactivate the 4.5_0 version because i get the error i stated earlier. I did a selfupdate yesterday and again this morning before trying to uninstall and install php5 but still had the same problems. Like I said earlier I have been able to install other ports so it isn't like my whole macports installation is busted. Just php5 is giving me an issue right now.

You can see the dependencies doing 'port deps': e.g. 'port deps php5'
gives ' libxml2
libxslt
openssl
zlib
libiconv
expat
gettext
tiff
mhash
libmcrypt
curl
pcre
jpeg
libpng
freetype') basically, variants add to these. If you say
'port installed pcre', you see all installed versions of pcre.

Hi again,
I am a bit at loss, because I don't see any such errors, as:
jwa@lan3:midgard> sudo port -f uninstall php5 @5.2.1_3+apache2
+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5+pear+postgresql
---> Unable to uninstall php5
5.2.1_3+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5
+pear+postgresql, the following ports depend on it:
---> midgard-php4
Warning: Uninstall forced. Proceeding despite dependencies.
---> Uninstalling php5 5.2.1_3+apache2+darwin_8+macosx+mysql5+pear
+postgresql
jwa@lan3:midgard>
(that was inactive anyway).
Have you performed sync or selfupdate lately? You could try cleaning
out the whole port system, installing it again from scratch and doing
selfupdate, and install php5 with variants after that. This is a bit
of work, but ports do not behave like that in my system, I am on MBP,
OS X 10.4.9, Xcode 2.4.1, MP 1.442
