Forget what I told you before about php5-mysql not working. I finally  
completed round 2 of refactoring a few minutes ago. See #19091 for  
details but the database module ports (like php5-mysql) now work and  
the corresponding variants have been removed from php5.

At this point, simply install the php5 module ports for the features  
you want. You should also upgrade php5 to 5.3.0_2. There are still a  
few remaining variants in the php5 port for modules which are not yet  
available in separate ports.

If you need a mysql5 server, install the port mysql5-server. :)

The default +mysqlnd variant of the php5-mysql port now works, and I  
recommend you try it. It's not for everyone, but it should be fine  
for most people and is nice because it does not have a dependency on  
a mysql port.
