[Sussex] Getting PHP to work with MySQL

I have just installed a copy of Fedora Core 6 and I'm having trouble 
getting PHP programs to connect to a MySQL database.
Individually, the PHP and MySQL both work but when I try to connect from 
a PHP program to MySQL I get "Call t undefined function 
mysql-connect()".  The mysql connection looks to be configured in 
php.ini. The log files aren't showing anything useful. I tried did a 
search in yum for php-mysql and then ran "yum install php-mysql.i386", 
which gave "nothing to do".  A mysql.so file resides in 
/usr/lib/php/modules/
I have exhausted what I can think of doing - any suggestions. Thanks, 
Brendan
