If you are going to change from the old-style PHP (dev-php/php) to the |
| 63 |
new-style PHP (dev-lang/php), then you need to follow the PHP upgrading |
| 64 |
instructions on this page: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php-upgrading.xml |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
I highly suggest it, as IIRC the old-style PHP is no longer supported. |
