Because it didn't "move back" when I switched back to an older version  
of php5

That would be as standard location - especially if there is an  
expectation that a php6 (or php7) might also be made available on the  
system.

I don't use the "standard" socket location for MySQL5 as provided in  
MacPorts - I set the socket values for PHP to use in the .ini file  
like this...

; Default socket name for local MySQL connects.  If empty, uses the  
built-in
mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
; Default socket name for local MySQL connects.  If empty, uses the  
built-in
mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

The "answer" to the change is here

  http://trac.macports.org/changeset/50173/trunk/dports/lang/php5/Portfile

When I did the port upgrade php5 I didn't "see" the message that was  
output

  ui_msg "Your ${prefix}/etc/php.ini has been moved to ${phpinidir}/ 
php.ini"

I guess for me that something like this

  COPY ${prefix}/etc/php.ini ${phpinidir}

as opposed to

  move ${prefix}/etc/php.ini ${phpinidir}

would have made it transparent (assuming that there is a copy function  
like move in the port language)

It's my bad, since I didn't read the message when I did the upgrade.
