To get the most minor nit out of the way first: the port is called
php4-mysql.
And, no you won't see MySQL amongst the configuration options for the
base PHP executable. That's because nowadays the MySQL support is
built completely separately as a loadable module. You should have
read the 20040719 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING where this is
explained.
Try running:
% php -m
which will tell you about all of the loadable modules you've got
available. Look more closely at the phpinfo() output -- there should
be a whole section on MySQL later on. If that isn't there, then you
need to pay some attention to your /usr/local/etc/php.ini file: if you
use the default one provided by the lang/php4 port, everything should
just work.
Cheers,
Matthew
