Wayne:
1. During the 'make install (clean)' process of PHP while doing the
configuration part, you will get a very simple ascii gui in which you can
set your preferences for support (like mysql support), builtin into PHP.
2. Yes you can add/remove/change these settings, when trying to understand
the ports system it's really just a neat set of scripts doing the
configure, make and make install for you, including dependencies so these
sure are files you can edit. I do think you will still get the menu during
configuration. This something you can probably turn on and off somewhere..
not sure. To configure with mysql is indeed --with-mysql.
3. For your third question i'm not quite sure, maybe one of the other
'freebsd-questions' readers can help us out here?
Goodluck,
Thomas
