Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Hi, you seem not to have the symlink /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so which should be contained in MySQL-shared. If not this seems to be an issue by your rpm vendor. (Oracle's version has it)
Please also mind that you have MySQL-devel (which contains headers and static lib files) in version 5.1 but MySQL-shared (which contains dynamic libraries) in version 5.5 -- this can cause incompatibilities.

Hi, you are right, I know /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so doesn't exists.

But this is !!! standard Mysql from Oracle
Vendor: Oracle and/or its affiliates

Incompatibilities - but this is MySQL-shared-__compat__ ... and some description from rpm -qi MySQL-shared-compat
Summary     : MySQL shared client libraries for MySQL 5.1.58-1, 5.0.94-1, 4.1.23-0, 4.0.27-0, 3.23.58-1

But in Percona Mysql this link exists
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so
Percona-Server-shared-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5

It's bad when doesn't work with standard Mysql RPM's for RHEL, but it is primarily Mysql bug.

You said "Summary: MySQL shared client libraries for MySQL 5.1.58-1, 5.0.94-1, 4.1.23-0, 4.0.27-0, 3.23.58-1" - There is 5.5 missing. You need the shared client libraries for MySQL 5.5. Those ones are there for compatibility with applications linked against older versions.
