php3

I just recently got php3 web content working an my Apache server (well,
httpd starts without errors). Now I'm trying to get phpMyAdmin working.
The index.php3 file outputs:

Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in
lib.inc.php3 on line 121


Is php3 supposed to be able to process that mysql_connect() or is that
something that phpMyAdmin is screwing up?
