hello!

i have to excuse myself - although i installed several times apache2 with mode_php and so on, i just learned that there is dev-lang/php AND dev-php/php.

BUT now i need PDFLIB - which is emerged - with php. but an # emerge =dev-php/php shows everytime ./configure....... -disable-pdflib!!

dev-php/php does NOT have the use flag: pdflib

DO i need to install dev-lang/php (unstalbe!!??) to have pdflib added?

thanx for any help which bring some light into the dark!

best regards,
ramsesii

Yes, install dev-lang/php (wich, also if marked unstable, is quite stable and so far works without problems) and then emerge dev-php4/pecl-pdflib or dev-php5/pecl-pdflib, depending on the version of dev-lang/php you want to use.
For more informations on the upgrade to dev-lang/php please read:

thanx a lot for your information - very, very useful.

the only thing is , that for my amd64 system, there is NO pecl-pdflib... will it be a problem to use x86 in compat mode? any thoughts?

thanx a lot

It's not that there is no pecl-pdflib, but that pecl-pdflib was not (yet) keyworded for amd64, simply try the x86 ebuild by adding the following to /etc/portage/package.keywords:
