freebsd stable - Jan 2019 - php56

+1 on this request.  I have a mission critical app server running an old PHP 5.6
application which will not work on PHP 7+.  The system is effectively
unmaintainable right now in terms of pkg/ports updates.

Best,
Daniel

AFAIK you can either:

 - use packages and revert to 2018Q4; or
 - re-add the sources locally and compile them from source.

IIUC those are your only two options.

The quarterly cut (2019Q1) still contains php 5.6

It was deleted form the ports-tree hours later.
