First things first:

echo "<?phpinfo()?>" > phpinfo.php

Then visit the phpinfo.php file in your browser, and see if the mysql
extension is installed. (If it is, you'll get a section all about
mysql.) http://crschmidt.net/phpinfo.php is example phpinfo output.

I expect that you don't see that, and I expect that it's probably
because your extensiondir is set to something that isn't where mysql.so
is, but I'm not smart enough to know for sure. I'd start there and move
on though.

If you can't figure it out, a link to the phpinfo() page may help.
