Right, the above show that you do not have the php-mysql package
installed, as it is listed in the Availible packages section of yum's
output.  thus, the logical thing to do would then be:
"yum install php-mysql"

The NOKEY error is probably an ok thing, it means the package was signed,
but you don;t have they key it was sigend with.  AFIK, that is a non-fatal
warning.  Are you sure it didn't install?  If you really don't thing so
you can always do something like the following:
yum remove php-mysql
yum install php-mysql
