It seems that as of fBSD 5.3, the version that is installed when using sysinstall has a lot less compile options enabled than it used to do previously, one of which being the MySQL support. Here's what I did to solve the issue: 1) Install Apache 1.3, PHP4 (MOD + CLI), PHP4 extensions. 2) Make sure this combination can successfully execute a simple 'hello world' example. 3) Figure out PHP's compilation options (this can be done e.g. using PHPinfo).
... etc.
Well, that's certainly one way, but it's not The Way ;-)
Correct solution would be to install mod_php4 first and then install all the necessary extensions via separate ports. For instance, to get MySQL support in PHP you would install /usr/ports/databases/php4-mysql.
This way of installing extensions via ports was introduced when PHP 4.3.8 came out (and was mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING).
