PHP's mysql_connect() is just a wrapper around the C API mysql_connect. As the manual says: "This function is deprecated. It is preferable to use mysql_real_connect() instead." I assume that PHP 4.2.3 is already using mysql_real_connect(). If this is not the case, I'm quite sure (if no one here disagrees ;) that PHP 5 will. And I'm really sure that it will always be called mysql_connect() in PHP, just to keep things easy.
