That's what the mysql_config script is for:

tim <email protected>:~$ mysql_config
Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS]
Options:
        --cflags [-I'/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql']
        --libs [ -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lm ]
        --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]
        --port [3306]
        --version [3.23.30-gamma]
tim <email protected>:~$ mysql_config --libs
 -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lm

I'm not sure what the best way to use it in PHP is, but hopefully
someone familiar with ext/mysql/config.m4 could fix that. If not,
let me know and I'll try to look at it some time.
