I am not proud of this "sneaky" approach to my problem, though I
could not find a better solution. I am as a matter of fact having
problems with php5 and the ports that are found on Macports. I
have installed the php5-mysql5 port
You mean the php5-mysql port.
since I will mainly be using php5 heavily depending on mysql.
However, I would also like to have mbstring, mcrypt and gd but I
do not know how to best add the listed modules.
All you should need to do is to additionally install the ports php5-
mbstring, php5-mcrypt and php5-gd.
Thank you for yor help. So just installing the additional ports will
complement the php5-mysql port, rather than replacing my current
php5-mysql? Can i have multiple php5 ports active at the same time?
Sorry for the question, i am fairly new to using ports.
Welcome to MacPorts!
php5-mysql is not PHP; it is the set of MySQL modules *for* PHP. The
port php5 *is* PHP. So, to use the PHP language, you install the PHP
language (the php5 port), and if you want additional functionality,
you install any of the modules available in the separate php5-* ports.
So yes, it is intended for you to have multiple php5-* module ports
installed and active at the same time, if you want the functionality
those modules offer.
P.S: Use Reply All so your reply goes to the list too, not just to me.
