Comment (by hostep):

 Thanks for the feedback Ryan. Take your time to setup everything you need,
 I really appreciate all you've done for MacPorts so far! :)

 With the changes suggested by Bjarne D Mathiesen in the mailing list
 messages, I was able to get PHP 8.4.3 running using MacPorts locally. But
 only the basic packages, not yet the extensions, but that's for another
 attempt at another day.

 Let me know in case I need to help out with something, maybe in testing or
 something. I'm not super familiar with the scripting language used, but I
 do my best in trying to understand it.
 For example, I recently had to setup PHP 5.6 locally using MacPorts on
 MacOS 13 for a very old project that needed a bug fix. And I got it more
 or less up and running by adding the following lines to the CLI & FPM SAPI
 sections:

 {{{
     if {[vercmp ${branch} < 7.0]} {
         configure.cflags-append     -Wno-implicit-function-declaration
     }
 }}}

 No idea if this is useful info for you.
