Never mind, we decided to ditch PHP for this project and use mod_perl:
1) since its more secure, reliable and extendable out of the box (IE you can add most functionality without worrying about rebuilding apache)
2) Its more intuitive and extendable
3) The support lists are way better (IE this email just needed a simple "Yes" and got nothing for several days)
So based on that our latest servers will not have PHP on them
Thanks for helping us finalize the decision :)

Hello,
http://us3.php.net/mysql says
"specify the path to MySQL's install directory, like so: --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql. This will force PHP to use the client libraries installed by MySQL"
Just a sanity check as to what exactly is meant by "install directory"
If the binaries are: /usr/local/bin/mysql /usr/local/bin/mysql_config /usr/local/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables etc...
and the client libs are: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.12 etc...
and db's are in /var/db/mysql etc..
then what directory "/path/to/mysql" do you want to specify in --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql?
/usr/local correct?
TIA!
