 This page shows how to install and use the php70 family of ports, but you can use another version if you prefer; all of these ports use a similar directory layout.

-  '''''Note:''''' the php70 port contains the core PHP features, but there are many optional features available in separate ports, some of which you may want to install as well . Use `port search php70` to see all the ports that are available.

+PHP comes in several Server APIs (SAPIs). You can install any or all of these that you need:

+|| FastCGI Process Manager  || php70-fpm            || `sudo port install php70-fpm`            ||

+= Step 2: Install PHP Modules = #modules
+
+The SAPI ports contain the core PHP features, but there are many optional features available in separate ports, some of which you may want to install as well. Use `port search php70` to see all the ports that are available.
+
+Installing a PHP module automatically makes it available to all PHP SAPIs of the same PHP version.
+
+For example, if you with to interact with a database server, here are some of the choices that exist:
+
+||=Database server         =||=Port                =||=Install command                         =||
+|| MSSQL                    || php70-mssql          || `sudo port install php70-mssql`          ||
+|| MySQL, MariaDB, Percona  || php70-mysql          || `sudo port install php70-mysql`          ||
+|| ODBC                     || php70-odbc           || `sudo port install php70-odbc`           ||
+|| Oracle                   || php70-oracle         || `sudo port install php70-oracle`         ||
+|| PostgreSQL               || php70-postgresql     || `sudo port install php70-postgresql`     ||
+|| SQLite                   || php70-sqlite         || `sudo port install php70-sqlite`         ||
