php5-mysql 5.1.6-1ubuntu2.7 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu edgy

 This package provides a module for MySQL database connections directly from
 PHP scripts. This generic module can be used to connect to all versions of
 MySQL, however when connecting to MySQL servers greater than version 4.1,
 you may want to consider using the interface provided by the php5-mysqli
 extention, which this package depends on.
 .
 PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
 from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
 in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
 dynamically generated pages quickly.
