ABS does not download the entire package tree

I want to compile php-apache in order to work with apache24 from the AUR but when I run abs it does not download the source code of the php-apache package.
That's the case with many packages as well.
After updating pacman database and running abs:

ls -l /var/abs/extra|wc -l

2030

pacman -Sl extra|wc -l

2808

Re: ABS does not download the entire package tree

Yes it does.  There are split packages for which one package build can make several distinct packages.  For an example, see vim's PKGBUILD.

Fetch the "php" PKGBUILD to rebuild php-apache.

Thanks for the quick answers guys, I didn't know about split packages, now I figured it out.
