You have two options: 1. (recommended) - update your packages (pkg_add -u) to get updates for the security releases of PHP to 7.1.32 / etc. 2. (not recommended) - if you want to ignore the security fixes for packages and just use the ones present at release, you can set PKG_PATH in the environment to just include the release directory, PKG_PATH=(mirror)/pub/OpenBSD/6.5/packages/(arch)/ (obviously, filling in (mirror) and (arch) with the relevant mirror address and cpue architecture e.g. aarch64, amd64, ..).
