Last post I’ve try install official PHP 7 (GA) but I then realized that I have PHP 7.1 ( I use default branch of PHP git source). A reader also shoot me an email ask for simple connection to web server. I’m glad to write that since time permit 🙂
Here step by step guide install PHP 7.0 with Apache2 and MySQL 5.5 on FreeBSD 10.2

Why reinvent the wheel if php7 ports for FreeBSD available.
# portsnap extract
# cd /usr/ports/
# make search name=php70
# make search name=php7
Ok, still no ports available.
Install package
# pkg install -y autoconf bison libxml2 libxslt jpeg png libxpm freetype2 gmp libmcrypt mysql55-client mysql55-server aspell recode wget apache22 curl
Compile PHP 7 source on FreeBSD 10.2
# wget http://uk1.php.net/get/php-7.0.0.tar.gz/from/this/mirror -O php-7.0.0.tar.gz
# tar xvzf php-7.0.0.tar.gz
# cd php-7.0.0
