Hi some days are better than others. Some time ago I did a port install php5 {some set of variants here} Today I do port selfupdate port list outdated and learn that my php5 is outdated. OK. Not sure why since port list installed shows php5 @5.2.4 www/php5 and the outdated list indicates the same version number. If I do port upgrade php5 I get a number of ports installed/upgraded (e.g. libxslt). I *assume* that the upgrade will install the latest version of php5 just like I did it before, with all of the variants the same. I sure wish I could remember what those variants were, just in case I wanted to do a port install php5 {variants} on a different system, or to add a note to my black book. 8) ---------------------------------- Chris Janton - face at CentosPrime dot COM Netminder for Opus1.COM
