Make a new php page and put the following syntax in the page:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

give it a name.. and browse to the page.. you're looking for mysql to be
active as an extension.. It's probably not there, so you will need to
install the php extension of mysql via yum or yast or apt-get depending
on which distro you are using. .

If you can get to a graphical package manager, just search for php or
mysql ..

let me know if you have any more questions..
