Sounds like your missing the php module for apache and mysql,  mysql.php.

Even if you have it, it may not have been compiled into apache.

 From similar problems with this, its no good installing Apache, then 
Php, then Mysql,
you have to do something like apt-get install apache with php and mysql 
so they all get installed together.
