I was getting something like this trying to run an application built on the Zend Framework :

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception' with message 
'The PDO extension is required for this adapter but not loaded' in
/usr/share/ZendFramework-0.9.1-Beta/library/Zend/Db/Adapter/Pdo/Abstract.php:74

The solution is here .

$ sudo apt-get install php5-dev
$ sudo apt-get install php-pear
$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
$ sudo pecl install pdo
$ PHP_PDO_SHARED=1 sudo pecl install pdo_mysql

Then, add these lines to php.ini somewhere to activate the new modules:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
