No, no, no, don't do that :) Changing port version is not simply as
that. Many times you'll need patches for a specific version in
ports_name/files directory. That is why your attempt failed.

Btw, if you really want to downgrade have a look at
ports-mgmt/portdowngrade.

Update your ports tree to a clean one (without your modifications to php
port). Try again (be sure to upgrade any required dependencies), send
errors if any.
