The PHP5 port has been divided into a fairly large number of modules. To=
add MySQL support within PHP5, simply install the databases/php5-mysql
port. (Or php5-mysqli, but only if you're running mysql-4.1.x)
Note that php5-mysql will cause one of the mysql-client ports to be
installed as a dependency -- unless you install one of the other versions=
before hand, that will get you the mysql 5.0.x client. You will still
need to install one of the mysql server ports, unless your DB is physical=
ly
hosted on a different machine.
Oh -- and the other trap for newbies is that you need to 'make config'
in the lang/php5 port and make sure the 'Apache' box is checked before
you'll get the Apache PHP5 module built and installed.
Cheers,
Matthew
