I beg to differ. OpenBSD's chrooted Apache really *is* something special.

And as Apache runs in a jail it will look for PHP modules in

      /var/www/lib/php/modules

instead of /usr/local/lib/php/modules.

This is what /var/www/lib/php/modules looks like here:

ls /var/www/lib/php/modules
bz2.so imap.so mcrypt.so ncurses.so pdf.so shmop.so xslt.so
domxml.so ldap.so mysql.so odbc.so pgsql.so snmp.so

BTW: Why don't you use the PHP version from the ports tree and save yourself
the hassle to copy things to the right places manually?
