http://php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php

PHP 5.0.x, 5.1.x, 5.2.x

MySQL is no longer enabled by default, so the php_mysql.dll DLL must be enabled inside of php.ini. Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH. See the FAQ titled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows" for information on how to do this. Although copying libmysql.dll to the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system's PATH), it's not recommended.

PHP 5.3.0+

The MySQL Native Driver is enabled by default. Include php_mysql.dll, but libmysql.dll is no longer required or used.

Are you positive it's not compiled to work? Try installing the mysql php module manually.

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

That's weird, normally MySQL is supported by default. Follow this steps to recompile your PHP: http://de3.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php
