If I remember correctly all you have to do in Arch is to enable posix 
extensions in php.ini, since most are disabled by default.

What I have in php.ini with working mythweb (among other things)

extension=exif.so
extension=gd.so
extension=json.so
extension=mcrypt.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=posix.so
extension=tidy.so
extension=xmlrpc.so

Installed

php 5.3.2-2
php-apache 5.3.2-2
php-gd 5.3.2-2
php-mcrypt 5.3.2-2
php-pear 5.3.2-2
php-tidy 5.3.2-2
