Hi all,
Short of upgrading the OS, what is the safest way to upgrade a FreeBSD server
to PHP 5.3.x from 5.2.11 ?
I am assuming downloading the ports tarball and rebuilding and reinstalling
will do it?
Any advice, samples would be appreciated,

It's not too traumatic an upgrade, and initially is as simple as you
suggest,
remember to uninstall extenstions via the meta port
lang/php52-extensions (and reinstall desired extensions via
lang/php5-extensions)
further suggestions, *
*copy the config make options from phpinfo() on 5.2 as it'll help you
remember what you need for 5.3.
keep a copy of you php.ini obv also.
check http://uk3.php.net/migration53
you'll likely know but 5.3 is quite different from 5.2 so there's a few
gotchas, such as changes to log levels, no more register globals, you
must explicitly use $_POST or $_GET
no more register_long_arrays, you cannot use $HTTP_POST_VARS
short tags are probably off round about that version,
if i recall, there was some changes to a lot of my $_SESSION code so
check any code that uses that, (but this could well have been my
implementations.)
good luck
Paul.
