 > For instance, for php5-mysql a message is printed stating one has to
 insert three instances of the path to the mysqld.sock into the php.ini
 file. I'm of the opinion that MacPorts ought to do that automagically :-)

 I don't remember if it was the case back when this comment was made 8
 years ago, but today the user needs to specify which MySQL server's socket
 to use; the php-mysql port can't make that decision for the user.

 > The php5extension portgroup was deprecated in 2013. I think this ticket
 is no longer relevant unless it still applies to specific ports or the php
 1.1 portgroup.

 As far as I remember, no changes relating to the issues discussed here
 have been made in the php portgroup, so the issues raised are still
 relevant.
