# FreeBSD PHP 5.6 ports

FreeBSD ports subtree to build packages for the unsupported (EoL) PHP 5.6 version.

Updated to the latest PHP version 5.6.40.

## Preparation

To build the packages you need to add the following to `/etc/make.conf`:

    DEFAULT_VERSIONS += php=5.6

    

    # Needed for PHP 5.6 because it was removed from the tree.

    PHP_EXT_DIR=    20131226

    PHP_EXT_INC=    pcre spl

    _USE_PHP_VER56= bcmath bitset bz2 calendar ctype curl dba dom \

                    bcmath bz2 calendar ctype curl dba dom \

                    enchant exif fileinfo filter ftp gd gettext gmp \

                    hash iconv imap interbase intl json ldap mbstring mcrypt \

                    mssql mysql mysqli odbc opcache \

                    openssl pcntl pcre pdo pdo_dblib pdo_firebird pdo_mysql \

                    pdo_odbc pdo_pgsql pdo_sqlite pgsql phar posix \

                    pspell readline recode session shmop simplexml snmp soap \

                    sockets spl sqlite3 sybase_ct sysvmsg sysvsem sysvshm \

                    tidy tokenizer wddx xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xsl zip zlib

    mysql_DEPENDS=  databases/php${PHP_VER}-mysql

Then extract this subtree somewhere in the filesystem (here `/opt/ports/php56`):

	mkdir -p /opt/ports/php56

	git clone https://github.com/mariancerny/freebsd-ports-php56.git /opt/ports/php56

## Installing

Now you can build individual packages:

	cd /opt/ports/php56/lang/php56

	make install

	cd /opt/ports/php56/www/mod_php56

	make install

## Caveats

Dependencies within this PHP 5.6 ports subtree are not resolved properly. You must install each dependency beforehand.

For example if you try to build `databases/php56-pdo_mysql` first you get the following error:

    

    ===>   php56-pdo_mysql-5.6.40 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/php/20131226/pdo.so - not found

    Error a dependency refers to a non existing origin: /usr/ports/databases/php56-pdo in BUILD_DEPENDS

    Errors with dependencies.

    *** Error code 1

    

    Stop.

    make[1]: stopped in /opt/ports/php56/databases/php56-pdo_mysql

You must install `databases/php56-pdo` manually before installing `databases/php56-pdo_mysql`.

Similarilly you must install `textproc/php56-xml` before `textproc/php56-xmlreader`, etc.

You can even install the meta port `lang/php56-extensions` (for example when you need to export the packages using `pkg create` & `pkg repo`),

you must just install all the selected packages manually beforehand.

Another option would be to mount the repository using unionfs onto `/usr/ports` (as suggested by [TLINDEN](https://github.com/mariancerny/freebsd-ports-php56/issues/5)), e.g.:

    mount -t unionfs -o ro /opt/ports/php56 /usr/ports

Then all dependencies build automatically just fine.

## Testing

Tested on FreeBSD 11.2 and 12.0 with main FreeBSD ports tree from May 2019.

It may break in a future version of the main FreeBSD ports tree. Hopefully, it will last for some time.

Update: Still works on FreeBSD 12.4 with freebsd-ports tree branch 2023Q4.
