You're getting a little ahead of yourself here.  Can you connect to 
mysql at the command line using the same user/pass that PHP is using? If 
so, then you know you have a PHP problem, not a MySQL problem.

PHP must be told at build time to include support for MySQL, for one 
thing ... but you haven't given enough information to do anything but 
speculate.
