Yes, you can ignore the +sqlite variant in the php5 port. What was  
there is now in the php5-sqlite port. The variant will be removed  
from the php5 port shortly.

php5-sqlite installs the sqlite.so and pdo_solite.so extensions,  
whose functions are described here:

http://php.net/sqlite

And here:

http://php.net/pdo_sqlite

php5-sqlite3 is supposed to install the sqlite3.so extension, whose  
functions are described here:

http://php.net/sqlite3

But it's currently broken, and my plan is to delete the php5-sqlite3  
port and merge its functionality into the php5-sqlite port:
