I'm kind of a newbie in Mac but I have managed to install several PHP versions with mysql and stuff like that before.
Only now, I can't install the new PHP version.

Well ok, I can, but somehow php is always looking for the extensions in
/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090115/
This directory doesn't exist. Only
/opt/local/lib/php/
exists. So when I include an extension, by taking away the ";" in the php.ini, I get a warning PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/ local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090115/....' ....

I also find it strange, that this is the default directory. Where does it come from ?! in the php.ini I have
; extension_dir = "./"
I tried to set to other directories, but I have no idea where my extensions are.

Last try I installed php like this
sudo port install mysql5 +server
sudo port install apache2
sudo port install php5-devel +apache2+mysql5

and before like this (that would be what I prefer)
sudo port install php5-devel +apache2+macosx+mysql5+pear +postgresql83+sqlite
and I also tried with 20 different variations.
I have uninstalled and deleted everything related to macports (like written in the FAQ) twice
And I have no Idea what I can do else, I feel very helpless

So the questions would be
Where does /extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090115/ come from
Where do I really find my extension dir, so that I can use mysql and sqlite and stuff like that (also ImageMagick in future, but thats another thing) Or what do I have to change (Portfile ?!) so that there is a progress ?!?

Welcome!

/opt/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090115/ is the directory where PHP 5.3 extensions would be stored, if you had installed any. You haven't installed any extensions. All the variants you selected, such as +mysql5 and +postgresql83, currently build themselves into the php programs and libraries directly. They're always on. You don't need to change anything in the php.ini to enable them.

These variants will be removed from the php ports in the future to be replaced with separate ports which will install as extensions in the above mentioned directory. You still won't have to change anything in php.ini to enable them, since they will install small ini files of their own in /opt/local/var/db/php5 which PHP reads automatically in addition to the regular php.ini.
