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
