Newbie question - Testing the connection between PHP and MySQL

Thanks for your continue help.

When I run this php page on my Web Server...

<?php

phpinfo()

?>

I don't see any indication of MySQL as running.  I read
online that you
should see something on this page for MySQL.  In Services, I
can see it
running so this confuses me.
Can you help me with this question?  Here is what I read...

                   Testing For PHP and MySQL

                   There is a simple test for both PHP and
MySQL. Open
a text editor and type in the following:

                    <?
                     phpinfo();
                    ?>

                   and save it as phpinfo.php

                  Now upload this to your webspace and go to
i
                  t in your browser. If you have PHP
installed you will
see a huge page with all the details of your PHP
installation on it.
           Next, scroll down through all this information.
If you find
a section about MySQL then you will know that MySQL is   
installed.


I read online and they make it seem so easy to set up.  I
think this is
very complicated.
