You version of PHP has mysql built in by default.  It is not neccessary to
include the --with-musql option. If you have already and mysql works, I
would not be too concerned.  The db3 option is for the berkely database.  It
is used by mysql for transaction support.  I am not completely sure if it is
used by interbase or not, no experience with interbase.  If you want more
information about the berkeley database go to www.sleepycat.com.  If you are
using mysql and do not have a need for transaction support, leaving the
option out will not hurt.  It seems like you were not aware of what db3
meant, so removing it from your configure options will not affect the way
you expect PHP to work.
