Well, they're both right:

and

dev-lang/php

If you want to specify a version, you have to set a "=" before the 
package, and if you want to avoid *any* version of the package, you must 
only write category/package, with no "=" before the package name.

The other problem, try what Fabrice told you, add --newuse to your 
emerge options.
