Installing Drupal

I am trying to install a new Drupal 7.
I get the errors

PHP extensions Disabled
Drupal requires you to enable the PHP extensions in the following list (see the system requirements page for more information):
* pdo

Database support Disabled
Your web server does not appear to support PDO (PHP Data Objects). Ask your hosting provider if they support the native PDO extension. See the system requirements page for more information.

hello

I'v been trying to install drupal 7 to run on a local host

seen a few vids you youtube so I'm pretty sure I'm following the steps correctly

but still I get this message when I try to go to http://localhost:8888/drupal-7.0/

Error

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

I got as far as creating mysql db and setting permissions. However, when I point my browser to http://localhost/drupal-7.0, I get a browser window that displays the php code. The install script won't run. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I'm a newbie :-) Can someone please clue me on how to get the install.php executed by safari? I'm running Safari 5.0.2 in Mac OS 10.6.4.

Thanks

Hi,

I am new on drupal so I dont know what is wrong. I get the following message if I start Drupal on my server:

"Your PHP installation is too old. Drupal requires at least PHP 5.2.4. See the system requirements page for more information."

...My phpinfo says that PHP5.3.3 is installed.

I hope someone can help me. Thank you for any help.
