No, php5 and mysql are friends.
You must have made a mistake elsewhere.
A few 'popular' mistakes:
1) Have a few php.ini's around and edit the wrong one.
Check: phpinfo() tells you which path it is using to load php.ini
2) Is mysql working allright?
Check: Can you connect to it from commandline.
3) Do NOT store your dll's everywhere.
Understand where they should be.
(Check in php.ini for extensiondir)
