Cool. :)

AFAIK it doesn't matter, otherwise the dependancies would be done by
pkgsrc.  php4-pcre, php4-mysql, php4-gd, php4-dba, I have all of these
and maybe another installed, it doesn't seem to matter what order you
install them in, since they are not dependant on one another.  However
of course ap-php4 is dependant on apache and php4-mysql is dependant on
mysql, and all of the php4-* are dependant on ap-php4.

(Again, AFAIK), an "or" statement only executes if the statement before
it returned FALSE (or possibly 0.. don't really remember), if your
mysql_connect() fails it should return FALSE, same with
mysql_select_db(), but if a mysql_query() gets 0 results, it will still
return an empty result set, but will only return FALSE upon something
like a syntax error.  Use "echo mysql_error()" liberally, and of course
read here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php :)

#php on freenode is a good place to get help too.  Very active.
