I'm not sure that there is a foolproof way to do it, that's why I prefer ui_msg's. The php5 port could stick those lines in Apache's httpd.conf, but if Apache is installed as a dependency the httpd.conf hasn't yet been renamed from httpd.conf.sample. It could be coded to test for the presence of the file but I think it might shield users from the type of thing they are going to need to be familiar with anyway if they start using Apache. But that's just my $0.02. I really don't understand why the no longer accrate ui_msg's have not been changed. Mark

The steps only need to be performed once the first time you install PHP, and not on subsequent upgrades. This is why I haven't fixed the ui_msgs yet: because I initially installed php5 a loooong time ago and have forgotten what I did to get it up and running. Would someone like to submit a patch to the ui_msgs in the php5 port to correct the instructions?
