Missing MySQL in PHPinfo on Ubuntu Linux

Question

I am working on a new Ubuntu server with Apache2, MySQL 5 and PHP 5.3.2. Something seems to be incomplete in the configuration. When I call phpinfo (), it does not have a MySQL section. However, the "Additional .ini Files" section shows /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysql.ini,/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/mysqli.ini,/etc/php5/apache2/conf. d / pdo.ini, / etc / php5 / apache2 / conf.d / pdo_mysql.ini "

In my research, I saw links to uncomment an extension line in a .ini file. PHP, but I do not see such a line in my .ini.

I have been using MySQL from a remote GUI for a week without any problems, so I know the database setup is great. PHP works completely fine except that it does not speak MySQL.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for taking the time to read my question. Floor

Fixed by running sudo apt-get install php5-mysql. Found this solution at http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-10.04-lamp-p2
