No, no idea. I use the php command line from the MacPorts php5 port  
all the time. Never seen this.

So, just to be clear, what happens if you put the following three- 
line script into a file test.php and then run it with both Apple's  
and MacPorts's php?


<?php
echo "hello php " . PHP_VERSION . "\n";
?>


Here's what I get:

$ /usr/bin/php test.php
hello php 4.4.7
$ /opt/local/bin/php test.php
hello php 5.2.5


If that's not what you get, then I'd like to see your php.ini.
