phpmyadmin convert myisam to innodb

Question

Hey, so I have recently become aware that in order to do foreign key relationships, I need to convert my tables over to innodb. I was wanting to do this in phpmyadmin and found the option for 'storage engine (type)' However my dropdown of options is limited to: MyISAM , MEMORY , and MRG_MYISAM

Would anyone be able to explain why this is?

apache 2.0 
phpmyadmin 3.3.10 
mysql 5.0.67
php 5.2.2

Thanks!

InnoDB support has to be enabled on the instance of MySQL you're using.

Try issuing a SHOW ENGINES SQL command to see what's available.
