How do I update PHP4 to PHP5 under FreeBSD operating systems?
You can easily specify a port to upgrade using the -o option for both portupgrade and portmaster command. To replace the installed port with a port from a different origin use the syntax as follows:
FreeBSD update php syntax
portupgrade -o {new/port} {old-port}
portmaster -o {new port dir in /usr/ports} {installed port}
Find out PHP4 version
First, find out php4 version (this is important as you need provide exact version number):
# pkg_info | grep php4
Sample output:
php4-4.4.9 PHP Scripting Language (Apache Module and CLI)
How To Upgrade PHP4 To PHP5
To replace / upgrade php4 with php5 using portmaster command, enter:
# portmaster -o /usr/ports/lang/php5 php4-4.4.9 to upgrade php5
To replace / upgrade php4 with php5 using portupgrade command, enter:
# portupgrade -o lang/php5 php4
Sample output:
** Detected a package name change: php4 (lang/php4) -> 'php5' (lang/php5) ---> Upgrading 'php4-4.4.9' to 'php5-5.2.9' (lang/php5) ---> Building '/usr/ports/lang/php5' ===> Cleaning for php5-5.2.9 ===> Found saved configuration for php5-5.2.8 ===> Extracting for php5-5.2.9 => MD5 Checksum OK for php-5.2.9.tar.bz2. => SHA256 Checksum OK for php-5.2.9.tar.bz2. => MD5 Checksum OK for suhosin-patch-5.2.9-0.9.7.patch.gz. => SHA256 Checksum OK for suhosin-patch-5.2.9-0.9.7.patch.gz. ...... ..... ...===> SECURITY REPORT: This port has installed the following files which may act as network servers and may therefore pose a remote security risk to the system. /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/bin/php-cgi If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of ports included in the Ports Collection. Please type 'make deinstall' to deinstall the port if this is a concern. For more information, and contact details about the security status of this software, see the following webpage: http://www.php.net/ ===> Cleaning for php5-5.2.9 ---> Cleaning out obsolete shared libraries [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 249 packages found (-0 +1) . done]
Once done, you need to upgrade and set new php configuration files which is located at /usr/local/etc/php.ini and /usr/local/etc/php/.

Hi,
There is one more step to upgrade if php4-extension already installed:
portmaster -o /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions php4-extensions-1.0
Oh, yes. You need to upgrade all those extension via meta package too.
Thanks Vivek
What about CentOS5.2 ?
/0x3
CentOS 5.x comes with PHP5 only. So there is no need to perform upgrade…
ohhh sorry ….
