Installing the php4-mysql module is the correct first step.  The
question is why that new module isn't being loaded as part of
mod_php4?  Eliminating the obvious: did you kill and restart apache
/after/ installing php4-mysql?

If that doesn't work, then what is the value of the 'extension_dir'
property in /usr/local/etc/php.ini ? By default it should be commented
out:

    ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
    ; extension_dir = "./"

	Cheers,
