Subject:   Problem installing PHP + MySQL

I'm trying to get PHP and MySQL working with Apache 1.3.9. I've been trying
to follow a HotWired tutorial mentioned on the PHP home page, as well as
info from the php and mysql sites themselves. So far, I have php working
just fine, except that it doesn't recognize MySQL. I checked this out by
making a little web page that calls phpinfo(), and the response page
doesn't say anything about MySQL under Extensions (which I read it should
if it recognizes MySQL).

I've tried to install PHP a number of ways. First, I downloaded the tarball
and followed the configure program, using the the --with-mysql= option to
specify my MySQL directory. That didn't work. After that I reinstalled
FreeBSD for another reason, and I tried again. This time I picked PHP and
MySQL from the 'ports to install' menu, so they got installed along with
the OS. That didn't work either. After that, I tried to find PHP on my
disk, but I couldn't find anything (including mod_php3.c) anyhere. I was
confused. So I grabbed PHP again form www.php.net, and tried again. This
time I used the setup script instead of configure, but that didn't work. So
I tried configure again with the --with-mysql option, and that isn't
working. In fact, I'm getting 'unable to find mysql.h' errors, even though
I'm using the right directory (and several variations).

So what's my damn problem? And what can I do to fix it? The machine isn't
currently a production server, so it doesn't really matter what it takes,
as long as I can get things working.

Thanks!
Chris
