 Loaded apache2 and php5 - smooth no problems.

 Last PHP instructions to assist in enabling PHP on Apache were these:

 {{{
 To enable PHP in Apache, run
   cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
   /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so
 }}}

 That worked correctly - and added the 'LoadModule' in the httpd.conf file.

 Tested PHP on a browser - it did not work.

 Apache documentation said FIlesMatch needed to be added to the httpd.conf
 file for PHP to work:

 {{{
 # Then, configure the handler for all files that end with .php
 # A regexp such as \.(php|php4|php5)$ can also be used to support more
 extensions

 <FilesMatch \.php$>
 
  SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
 </FilesMatch>
 }}}

 That fixed the problem.

 Thank you for your excellent work - I tried a raw build (outside of
 MacPorts) of PHP and it failed with symbol problems.

Comment:

 The intention is that you will include extra/mod_php.conf in your
 httpd.conf. So I think your only complaint is that the port doesn't tell
 you to do this, which is covered by #12108.
