This may be a stupid question, but is the mysql server running?
Given the error above, whether or not the MySQL server is running is irrelevant at this point (although you should make sure it's running nontheless). What he needs to do is edit the php.ini file to enable the MySQL extension in PHP, then restart IIS/Apache.
The pertinent lines are:
extension_dir
extension
Read here to learn how to edit these to enable MySQL on your server.
Good luck!
