What should I do to make my php to work with MySQL ?

Compile PHP with:

--with-mysql=DIR

Which enables MySQL support. The parameter to this option is the MySQL 
install directory and defaults to /usr/local. This is the default 
installation directory of the MySQL distribution.

Bofore doing this you should have a working mysql server installed on 
your system.

PHP 4 comes bundled with MySQL client library and it is enabled by
default, thus obviating the need for --with-mysql, unless you have a
newer version installed somewhere else.
