It's saying that the RPM you just tried to install needs MySQL-DBI-perl-bin
installed first.  Is it installed?  Login to the shell (telnet or ssh) and
do:

"rpm -qa | sort" (without the quotes) and look for that RPM.  If it's not
listed, install it and then try re-installing the RPM with the problem.

Sounds like you need the gd and ttf libraries installed for the PHP RPM to
install.  I'm not sure if they're there, but look for them on the Cobalt FTP
site.  I usually install PHP and MySQL from source so I don't think I've
ever run into those failed dependencies.  You may also be able to force PHP
to install by adding "--force" to the rpm command you are issuing.
