Do you have the PHP MySQL module installed?
It's a package named php-mysql, or perhaps php5-mysql, depending on what distribution you're using.

Actually, at first it wouldn't allow me to install phpmyadmin because it only had version 5.1.6 so I upgraded to php-mysql 5.2.10-1.el5.centos and was able to install fine.
The issue occurred both before and after the upgrade.
Ah, yes, the more recent versions of phpMyAdmin do require a version of PHP that's more recent than what you can get by default with CentOS.
Now that you upgraded to PHP 5.2.x, are you able successfully log into phpMyAdmin?

I wish I could say yes, but sadly no....I get this...
phpMyAdmin - Error Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
The apache log shows the last 20 errors...
