echo '<? phpinfo() ?>' | php | grep -i mysql
but you have to
* Make sure your web server is running * Find an editor to edit a file * Do it again, this time as root * Find the browser, point it at the right place in the web server * Move the file to where it is supposed to be * Fix the permissions
Even if you cut out the mistakes it's still takes 10 times as long to get a "YES" out of it. For what it's worth, even though I thought I knew the answer, I actually did
echo '<? phpinfo(); ?>' | php | less -i
and searched for mysql.

A nicer way to get that info is to put a script containing phpinfo() into your webserver document root - call it something like test.php:
test.php -------- <?php phpinfo(); ?>
that's it - just that one line. Then just browse to
http://name_of_your_server/test.php
and you'll get a nicely formatted page telling you all the different things about your webserver and all the options it was built with - including PHP and MySQL stuff (if it was built with MySQL support).
HTH.
