OT: Is it "php4-mysql" only?



hi.  i installed apache, mysql, and php4 using the .deb packages by
this:

apt-get install apache mysql-serve php4-mysql

and although the "phpinfo()" test works to confirm that apache *is*
working with php, i'm unable to confirm whether php and mysql works
together.  this i found out later when i created some sample php
scripts.  i was using "mysql_connect()" and i would get the error
message that "mysql_connect()" is an undefined function.  i searched
"www.faqts.org" for answers and was told that either i have to put:

dl("mysql.so");

on top of every php script i create or recompile php using the
"--with-mysql" switch. i tried the first option and got:

Unable to load dynamic library '$(prefix)/lib/php4/mysql.so'
- $(prefix)/lib/php4/mysql.so: cannot open shared object file:

so my other option is to recompile but i'm not using the source so i
must be missing some .deb packages.  the question is which package?
