mysql_pconnect() not in the version of php under ydl 2.2?

[Kimball Larsen]

I recently installed a php web application that I wrote on another
system that also used php4.  I get this error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in
/var/www/html/vudu/lib/DBLink.php on line 28


Does this just mean that I need to rip out the version of php that ydl
2.2 ships with and recompile it myself?

I do have the php-mysql package installed.

Thanks!
