Can you clarify how you're installing things,
exactly, and what the
problem you're encountering is?
For i386 you can get a php-mysql binary package right here:

Thank you very for the fast and detailed answer,
Your suggested install worked! but tonight I tried:
rpm -i php-mysql-4.3.11-2.4.i386.rpm and the was a depency problem against
mysql-server-3.23-xxx.rpm. In despair I did:
rpm -i php-mysql-4.3.11-2.4.i386.rpm --nodeps but I didn´t venture to
start the mediawiki setup without knowing the consequences. And now I did
rpm -e php-mysql and rpm -i as you suggested and it worked! I actually
don´t know what happend.
Anyway, what I don´t underestand either is why there is no
php-mysql-xx-src.rpm, please look at:
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/updates/3/i386/php-mysql-4.3.11-2.4.i3…
the source rpm point to php-4.3.11-2.4.src.rpm, but as I see you already
gave me the answer to this question. I think in a near future I would try
with the php sources, from time to time I discover that like that is the
best option but sometimes the time lacks.
thanks for all your teachings!

(I haven't checked, but I would assume the various
php-* binary packages
are all produced from the php-*.src.rpm, as this would basically consist
of building PHP from the single source code distribution and then
siphoning off the shared libraries, headers, etc into separate
installable packages.)
Personally, I've considered the Red Hat / Fedora packages for PHP and
MySQL to be a bit of a lost cause; we generally install PHP from source
and use the tarball package release of MySQL.
