I think this is the main portion of your post. The docs on php.net are generic
documents and does not take into consideration how a distribution may package
php. (This is very very common in Linux).
For FC5, simply run yum install php-mysql. That will install all 3 mysql
interfaces - legacy mysql, current mysqli and object oriented pdo_mysql.
Btw, on linux it would be php_mysql.so . All linux shared libraries end
with .so - DLL is a windows problem ;)
