If that is the location of the socket (mysql default is /tmp/mysql.sock but I
don't know with RH)you could try
$link = mysql_connect(":/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" , "username" , "password")
If that fails, check the permissions of the path to the socket for the apache
user and that mysqld is running.
