Support for MySQL 5.x is not installed by default anymore see <http://
us3.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php#faq.databases.mysql.php5> for
why
To instal support see the php.net help page at <http://us3.php.net/
mysql> in many ways one should shift to using the mysqli extensions
for php 5 as well see
<http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysqli.php> for more information.
The php version from Marc Linanage <http://www.entropy.ch/software/
macosx/php/> has support for mysql (up-to and including 5) as part of
the installer, I am not sure about the mysqli extensions though.

I'm trying to use PHP to connect to a MySQL database (to which I

I can connect to my MySQL database through the 'mysql' command
from Terminal.app, but I can't get a connection from PHP to the
MySQL database
I don't believe that PHP is capable of accessing MySQL 5.0
databases... has to do with the new password scheme, and the fact
that the MySQL license became too restrictive to continue using
MySQL in future PHP development. In fact, MySQL is not the default
database for PHP 5.0... SQLite is.
