All that indicates is that you didn't "rpm -e" the previous version of
php (you did an "rpm -u").

Did you install the php-mysql RPM?  You need that if want MySQL
connectivity under PHP.

Try doing "rpm -qa | grep php" to get a listing of all RPMs that have
"php" in their name.  If you don't have "php-mysql", you won't be able
to get at MySQL.

BTW, the latest release of php-mysql for FC1 is php-mysql-4.3.6-1.3,
for FC2, it's php-mysql-4.3.6-5
