#Setting up PHP
Use Flags
In order for PHP to be most useful, it should have as many of the modules installed as will be used. I recommend installing it using the FPM sapi, which manages php session spawning.
Here are some recommended flags:
mysql utf8 threads -readline libssh2 -cgi fpm xcache suhosin postgres mysqlnd reflection session simplexml sockets spl pdo mbstring sqlite3 mysqli soap
PHP_TARGETS
The PHP_TARGETS
setting in /etc/make.conf
lets you select which versions of PHP to compile. If possible, I recommend always using the latest stable version.
As of the time this is written, php 5.3 is the latest version, so I would add this line to /etc/make.conf
PHP_TARGETS="php5-3"
As of this writing, PHP compiles with clang reliably.
