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 ;) Peter.
