What exactly does this mean?

: I installed PHP before Mysql.

: recognize Mysql?

Not really.  If MySQL is not install locally, the PHP distribution
includes MySQL support (make sure you did a "./configure --with-mysql").

: If I can edit PHP to recognize Mysql how would I do that.

1) Make sure PHP is compiled with MySQL support.  See above.

2) Make sure osCommerce is configured with the correct settings to
access MySQL, i.e. hostname ("localhost"?), database name, the MySQL
username and password.
