Hi, may I ask you the reason to install apache and mysql3, as the (default) ports for those are apache2 (should always be used with MacPorts) and mysql5? The portfile for mysql3 was last updated November 2006, so I suspect it might be out of date (as can be seen in the Portfile, moreover mysql3 and mysql4 are not maintained by anyone, as the maintainer spec says nomaintainer). So, if it is ok for you, you could try with php4 +apache2 +mysql5 (do you run your own server?). If not, I have to think something else.
In fact, also use php5, please, if possible. php4 is old.
True, as one can see at the web site. PHP 4 is not developed anymore, there was an end of life announcement 13th July. Most of PHP 4 code can be used with PHP 5, and there are lot of improvements, so php5 is of course the recommended choice. ! ! Jyrki Wahlstedt ! http://www.wahlstedt.fi/jyrki/ ! !
