Is this on a Windows? If so I assume you have installed a version of
PHP 5, because PHP 4 on Windows comes with MySQL support enabled as
default. For PHP 5 you need to check the php.ini file, the
php_mysql.dll extension is _not_ present in the extensions list as
standard and needs adding. If phpMyAdmin can use it (which I suspect
it can) you could also check to ensure the php_mysqli.dll extension
line is un-commented. Save your new ini file, restart Apache and see
what happens.

If you're on a flavour of Unix, wait for someone else to reply to your
message ;)

Best regards,

Richard Davey
