Man, I've had so many tugs-of-war with the various parts of LAMP over the
years... I feel your pain, bro.
I found this third-party package repository with exactly what you're
looking for:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/5/i386/PByName.html
And here's the package you need:
php-mysql-5.1.6-1.2 - A module for PHP applications that use MySQL
databases - linux/i386
You might need to install the vanilla php-5.1.6 from this site, as well.
You'll have to try that out and see what works.
