I don't use the PHP or Apache RPMs, but are you using the module or CGI
version? This function is only available in the module version.

If you are using the module version, it seems most likely that PHP doesn't
know it has MySQL support. One possibility is that the PHP .so loads MySQL
support as a dl (.so), and can't find it, or the MySQL loadables can't be
found. Make sure that ld.so.conf knows about the MySQL library locations, if
they aren't in a standard place, which they most often aren't. Do you get
any messages in your Apache error log?
