Installation problem - mysql_connect

I just installed SS and am having issues with the install script.
"Call to undefined function: mysql_connect()"

The error fires in MySQLDatabase.php. I've got mysql on my machine (5.0.41) and can interact with it just fine via the cmd line. phpinfo() does not show any mySql related info, I'm running PHP 5.1.4.

The php.ini file points to the file in my Zend installation - I also have php installed at C:\php....wondering if that might have something to do with it. The other suspicious part is that my download of SS contains mysql version 5.0.24, so I imagine that doesn't jive with the DLL that it's using...?

Fixed - crazy how actually reading the instructions helps.

I uninstalled, downloaded the PHP installer since I already have Apache and MySQL installed - works like a champ!
