php && mysql?

[Rolando Abarca]

thanks to all who answered my last question.
Now I can finally start working with my PB, but I found that the distro of
php that comes with YDL does not have support for mysql? is that so, or
I'm doing something wrong?
I haven't changed anything, just made a simple script to test the
connection, and it fails with the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/home/admin/public_html/simple.php on line 18

Any ideas?? thanks a lot!

regards,
ra./
