Thanks to everybody who replied on this, and
especially for the examples.

I finally got php-mysql, but only after I enabled
the CentOS "Plus" channel.  Go figure . . .

Next challenge was php-jpgraph, on the "dag" repo.
When I did "yum install" it failed, but I noticed
this message:

  Reducing Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat
  Enterprise Linux to included packages only

So I compared my dag.repo file with Craig's, and
it had an "includepkgs" list left over from when
I originally set up that repo for a specific
application.  I removed that, and everything works.

Is there a query to tell where I got each item?

Thanks again!

Vic
