FreeBSD php from ports..

I upgraded php recently and *my bad* didn't read UPDATING about the change in their methods. It's been less than fun trying to figure out this mess. What is said is quite simple:

install php (mod_php in my case), then go to /usr/ports/lang/php#-extensions/ and install the meta port of extensions.

After finally getting the extensions to install, I check phpinfo(); and I see all the loaded modules. But when I am testing scripts out, none of them work. I can view php pages no problem, but if it has any of the needed modules, like sessions, mysql, etc. it spits out a blank page or garbage. So for instance I am resetting up my dev server and I install a lot of programs, like phpBB, vBulletin, osCommerce, CubeCart, etc... so I have them available to tweak when needed. But none of them will install.

This is a clean install because after a few days of no answers why php could not install any extensions (phpize error) I gave up and started new.

Anyone else experience this? I am at a loss what to do other than go back to Linux. But I have been using FreeBSD for the last year and love it. But this is making me hate it - lol..
