The default install of PHP on RedHat 7.1 is NOT enabled for use with MySQL.
All over the place I was reading that I would have to compile my own install
of PHP, MySQL and Apache.
If you visit http://rpmfind.net and search for mysql.so you should be able
to find a Red Hat compiled RPM which has the required modules.
After installing the RPM just init 1 and init 3 to restart the services and
it should be working.
Wanted to post this here to save others from a few days of frustration.
BTW PHP rocks!!!

Regarding that post for mysql.so and RPMFIND!!
If your system (RedHat) can use "up2date" - Just request the package
php-mysql - It's much easier you know ;)
----------------
So:
#up2date php-mysql
#/etc/init.d/httpd restart
and we're up and running!
