+PHP comes in several Server APIs (SAPIs). You can install any or all of these that you need:

+= Step 2: Install PHP Modules = #modules
+
+The SAPI ports contain the core PHP features, but there are many optional features available in separate ports, some of which you may want to install as well. Use `port search php70` to see all the ports that are available.
+
+Installing a PHP module automatically makes it available to all PHP SAPIs of the same PHP version.

+|| MySQL, MariaDB, Percona  || php70-mysql          || `sudo port install php70-mysql`          ||
+|| ODBC                     || php70-odbc           || `sudo port install php70-odbc`           ||
