II. install sockets extension

Be sure to select the sockets extension version to be consistent with the php version you are using, here I am using php5.2.15 version, so select php52-sockets.

 
 

  
  
#cd /usr/ports/net/php52-sockets  
  
  
 
  
  
#make install clean  
  
  
 
 
 

The above Command will generate a sockets. so extension, and the system will automatically

 
 

  
  
extension=sockets.so  
  
  
 
 
 

Add the information to the end of the/usr/local/etc/php/extensions. ini file.

If you have installed the pdo_mysql extension, skip this step.

1. # Cd/usr/ports/database/php5-pdo_mysql
2.  
3. # Make install clean
