Bug Description
I installed the package "php-mysql". When I re-loaded my .php page, I was still getting errors that the class "mysqli" couldn't be found.
It turns out that I needed to restart (or maybe just sighup) apache2 in order for the mysql-related classes to be accessible to my php pages. This is contrary to most other ubuntu packages, where installing the package makes its functionality immediately available *OR* the user gets alerted that a reboot, etc. is needed.
The bug I'm reporting is that when we install the php-mysql package, we should get that little balloon message (like we get when we update a firefox package and it tells us that we need to restart firefox) telling us that we need to restart apache2 for the functionality to become available.
This is similar to this bug:

but different.
