I have had PHP and Apache installed and working for quite some time
now as I teach myself PHP. I am now trying to get MySQL to work but
it wont. I tried to install phpmyadmin and whenever I start it I get
a mysql extension can't be found error. I think I correctly enabled
the extensions, but I don't know. Any guidance would be apreciated.

Is it a *NIX or Windows machine, Justin?

Did you try to start mysql itself without phpadmin? Then did you try to
connect to mysql through a php script? If not I would try those to
eliminate any issues with the install and isolate problems with phpadmin
