Error connecting to MySQL with PHP4

Hi all, I've just installed RedHat linux 7.0 (update) for intel and installed the Apache webserver, including a PHP4 module (libphp4.so) and MySQL. Apache works fine, including standard PHP (at least, the hello-world example works fine). Also, MySQL appears to be working fine, since I can use 'mysql mysql' to edit the members-table and add the 'nobody' account apparently needed by Apache. However, when I try to run the following simple script to connect to MySQL on localhost, I get the baffling error: 'undefined function'. I thought that MySQL connections were standard baked in PHP4. Does anybody know how to get this up and running without have to recompile and re-install apache and all other components from scratch? What's going on here anyway? Thanks in advance!
