OT - FreeBSD 4.2 Ftp Support Issue

Hello all, I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me with a weird problem i am having. I've had php4 up and running on my freebsd4.2 raq for quite a while now and all has been fine, recently ive had the need to compile ftp support into php. No matter what I do,( using the port or a manual compile), I can't get php to take ftp support. I don't get any errors during the make process and all appears to be all find and dandy. But when I fire apache back up and pull up a phpinfo() I have no ftp support, all else still works and nothing reports there being any problem with php, it just not taking the ftp ext. at all. I tried using the ftp commands just to see if maybe it wasn't reporting to the info file, but no go. If anyone has any insight on why this is happening I would gladly appreciate it. TIA -Chris
