Did you uninstall the php rpm before you installed from source? You could still be using the old rpm. Are you sure you have mysql installed?
If you want to make this as simple as possible, uninstall the mandrake rpms for apache, php and mysql and then do the following: Download and install the latest mysql rpm from mysql.com then go to rpms.arvin.dk , he has put together a bunch of rpms that work splendidly together. At a minimum download and install the rpms for mm and apache, then go into the php directory and download and install the rpms for php, mod-php and php-mysql. Note, you can install rpms for many other php extensions and they will work fine too. Of course these rpms are made for redhat 7.1, but I am sure they will work fine on mandrake 8.0 since it is based on redhat 7.1. Good luck.
