I was actually able to figure this out last night by going to php.net and searching under the extension categories and found PCRE. I then went to freshports.org and found php5-pcre in /usr/ports/devel/php5-pcre. Once I knew where to find it in the ports, I was able to fix the problem. This also helped me fix the lack of php5-xml and php5-sessions. One question I have for the maintainers of these ports and the ports infrastructure, why are these all listed in different places? /usr/ports/devel/php5-pcre/ /usr/ports/textproc/php5-xml/ /usr/ports/www/php5-session/ Not that these categories are wrong, or don't make sense, but why wouldn't they all be lumped under /usr/ports/lang, or /usr/ports/devel or something like that? Oh, lastly, once a port has been built, how can one redo the build of that port with different options selected? Andy
