Advise are invited...

did you compile from source ??
if so reconfigure with

./config.nice --with-mysql

if you installed a binary package you should make a test page containing

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

and look in there if it has been compiled with mysql bindings.

g'luck.

Edit your php.ini file, there are many options for mysql.
The most importtant are extension to communicate with your mysql:
Of course if it has mysql support compiled in :)

hai Avallach,
After i did waht you told above, am getting the following errors. why?
# php -v

What distro do you use ? Maybe you don't have php compiled with mysql support have you got libmysqlclient installed AFAIR remember it is also required
