The general how-to-access-the-correct-server problem is solved like this:

The three different servers must be listening to different TCP/IP
port numbers and Unix socket files. Tell your client to connect to
either the TCP/IP port or socket file corresponding to the server that
you want to access.

However, your problem is more fundamental. By removing MySQL support
for PHP, you now cannot connect to any MySQL server at all. You 'll
need to reinstall that support. I don 't know if you can do that for the
PHP RPM without reinstalling the MySQL RPM; if not, you 'll probably need
to rebuild PHP yourself, with support for MySQL included.
