It's funny how once you give up and post a question to a message board new 
insights pop into your head and you (or at least I) often find the solution on 
your own. 

Turns out the problem was by turning of the phar and pear options in my 
bbappend caused the php package to be empty and therefore no php ipk was 
generated. There was a note about not creating the empty package way down in 
the log file for the do_package step but I never saw it. 

I added ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1" to my bbappend and now things are working much 
better. 

It's really frustrating when silent failures like this occur and they seem to 
happen to new users like me all too often with this tool.
