PHP does not come with any database enabled by default, so you will need to 
enable one. For MySQL just look in php.ini for the line
;extension=php_mysql.dll
and remove the ';' at the front, and then restart Apache.
The first page you should create is

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Which will list all the modules that are active ;)
