a bit of background, since you seem to be confused.
PHP 4 needs the mysql client library linked in (and the header
files) to be able to talk to it. It can either use the mysql
(library) installed on your system, or it can use the one it has
bundled with it.
Use of the system library is required only under certain
circumstances. You must use it e. g. if you build PHP as the apache
module, and other apache modules use the mysql library too.
Basically, it's just a matter of conflicting versions. If mod_php is
the only apache module that uses mysql, you can safely use the
bundled library.
--with-mysql will use the bundled libmysql, --with-mysql=/path will
use mysql installed in /path. if you have mysql installed from the
port (and haven't tinkered with $PREFIX), the path will be
/usr/local.
the path you give configure in the --with-foo switch is "the
directory where i'll look for lib/libfoo.a and include/foo.h".
note that this statement is *very* simplifying the matters.
