PHP5 does not install a driver for MySQL by default. You will need to
enable one depending on which version of MySQL you want
php_mysql.dll
php_mysqli.php
This was done partly to comply with changes to MySQL licence conditions,
and partly because the older driver will not work correctly with newer
versions of MySQL
