No, it's a subpackage of php. The source package creates the main binary 
and several subpackages. This is done to reduce "coupling", so that if you 
don't have mysql installed, you don't have to install the mysql component 
of php. But it still gets built from the source package. Look in the spec 
file to see all the subpackages that get generated. While end users are not 
required to have all dependent packages installed, packagers are, in order 
to build all the subpackages.
