Description: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package)
 This package is a meta-package that, when installed, guarantees that you
 have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP5 interpreter
 installed.  Removing this package won't remove PHP5 from your system, however
 it may remove other packages that depend on this one.
 .
 PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
 from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
 in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
 generated pages quickly.

Description: MySQL Improved module for php5
 This package provides a module for MySQL database connections directly from
 PHP scripts.  This new "Improved" interface should only be used to connect
 to MySQL databases greater than version 4.1.  For older MySQL servers,
 please use the functions from the php5-mysql extension instead, which this
 package depends on.
