If you're installing PHP from RPMs, you should first check that you've 
php-mysql RPM (comes with RedHat distribution) installed.

Then check that you're loading the MySQL module with PHP: you should 
have a line called "extension=mysql.so" somewhere in your php.ini 
configuration file (/etc/php.ini if you used RPMs).

phpinfo() screen should also show MySQL module information. In here it 
says "MySQL Support enabled" and some configuration values specific to 
this module.
