How to add MySQL support for PHP using MacPorts?

I installed php 5.3 through MacPorts and now i tried to connect to a database (MySQL)
but always when i'm trying to call mysql_connect(); im getting an error:

Call to undefined function mysql_connect()

My setup is:

Installed and active packages via Macports that may be related to this problem:

I know that this error appears when php is compiled without mysql support but the package php5-mysql should add this support to php.

I really dont know what i can do.
I tried so many possible configurations but none of them worked.

Just at the moment of writing my question I found a solution so maybe it's useful to anyone else:

The problem with the php 5.3 installation via macports is that there is a line in the php.ini thats wrong.

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "./"

should be changed to:

; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
; extension_dir = "./"

(just uncomment it, right.)

PHP 5.3 finds the extension_dir itself so there is no need for extension_dir anymore.
