It sounds as if you didn't compile in mysql support with you php executable. You can check this using the phpinfo() function. If you are using the cgi only, try something like...
'php -q -i | grep configure' This will show you all the configuration options you selected when compiling/installing php. There will be some html junk you'll have to sift through, but you should be able to see it. As for showing the db's, try mysqlshow. If you want to see the tables in a db, mysqlshow db_name. If you want to see the info for one table in a db, mysqlshow db_name table_name.
