I'm looking into using Fink to load PHP and PostgreSQL on my machine, 
but there are a few points that I'm not clear about, and I'm 
wondering if someone could help me out.

First, if I load PHP and PostgreSQL from Fink, will they 
automatically have the appropriate modules loaded?  In other words, 
will PHP have the pgsql module (or whatever it's called) loaded 
automatically so that PHP can use PostgreSQL, or do I need to do 
something by hand?

Second, and similarly, since I want all of that to work with Apache, 
do I need to also load Apache via Fink (and will it build the mod_php 
module automatically?), or will the built-in version from OS X just 
work with the Fink part?  (I'm guessing the answer here is "you need 
to load Apache via Fink" but I'm not certain.)

Finally, if I load Apache and everything else via Fink, then am I 
correct in assuming that the Web Sharing preference panel that allows 
me to start Apache with a button will not work with the Fink Apache 
(and I would therefore need to start it by hand)?

Thanks!

My background: I've used PHP and PostgreSQL on machines where others 
have been the admins, but I've never tried loading or maintaining 
this stuff myself.  So I apologize if the answers to these questions 
are obvious.
