Recompiling PHP

I previously installed php 5.3.6 via yum onto my CentOS server. but it seems that it did not install with pdo, mysqli, etc... how do I go about recompiling it, do I need to remove the current version? do I have to download the source since I had previously used yum to get it? and what commands are recommeneded to get most typical functionality put in from the start?

Did you install the php-mysql package?

no these are the exact commands I had used to install the latest versions of php and mysql but not php-mysql

# yum install php 
# yum install mysql-server mysql
# wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
# wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
# rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm
# yum --enablerepo=remi update php php-*
# yum --enablerepo=remi update mysql mysql-server

Try running

yum install php-pdo php-mysql

Installing MySQL may not install the PHP/MySQL connector.

Please post
rpm -qa |grep -i php
yum search php| grep ^php
