The Gods seem to be conspiring against me.  I'm flummoxed as to why I
can't get php running in interactive mode (php -a).  Some relevant info:

    php5-5.3.8          PHP Scripting Language
    php5-extensions-1.5 A "meta-port" to install PHP extensions
    php5-readline-5.3.8 The readline shared extension for php
    python27-2.7.2_2    An interpreted object-oriented programming language

I tried doing an endrun around the problem by installing python in
conjunction with the /devel/phpsh port.  That hasn't quite worked out
either.

Testing the installation of phpsh on a local build server:

    $ phpsh
    Starting php
    Install pcntl to enable forking on every command.
    type 'h' or 'help' to see instructions & features
    php> echo "Hello world\n";
    Hello world

    php> d array_merge

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/bin/phpsh", line 127, in <module>
        t_c_ret = s.try_command(line)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/__init__.py", line
909, in try_command
        import manual
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/manual.py", line 4,
in <module>
        from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as sqlite
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in
<module>
        from dbapi2 import *
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
        from _sqlite3 import *
    ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

    [ At this point phpsh exits ]

Building a phpsh package fails:

    ===>  Building package for phpsh-20110513
    tar: etc/phpsh/config.sample: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
    tar: etc/phpsh/php_manual.db: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/devel/phpsh.
    *** Error code 1

    Stop in /usr/ports/devel/phpsh.

Running 'pkg_info -L' reveals the missing files being installed into
/usr/local/etc/phpsh, but no such directory (or files) exists.

And just for fun, the results after installing phpsh on Mac OS X (where
php interactive mode doesn't work either):

    Warning: require_once(/opt/local/etc/phpsh/rc.php): failed to open
    stream: No such file or directory in

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/phpsh/phpsh.php

    on line 49

    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required

    on line 49

Could someone shed some light as to why php interactive mode doesn't work
with FreeBSD?  Or alternatively, how to fix my phpsh installation and get
a package made?

Thanks!
