[PHP] PHP info: MySQL client API version: 3.23?
In the phpinfo() output, the MySQL client API version is shown as 3.23.49. Shouldn't this be upgraded to 4.1 (generally available/stable)? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

To do so, you would need to upgrade it. I know I am being a smartaleck when I say this, but it won't upgrade on its own and it won't upgrade just because you upgraded just PHP itself. PHP only reads what the version is from what you have installed, not something that is internal to PHP itself. So if you upgrade your mysql, it will show you a different version when you run your phpinfo. Here is an rpm -qa result from one of my machines: [root]# rpm -qa|grep mysql php-mysql-4.3.2-14.ent mysql-server-3.23.58-1 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-5 mysql-devel-3.23.58-2.3 mysql-3.23.58-2.3 My phpinfo client API shows: 3.23.58 Which would be because that is the version of mysql that I am running. My mysql, mysql-server and mysql-devel are all 3.23.58. Only my php-mysql module is 4.3.2-14 Steve -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you install with RPM, or you compile from source and only use --with-mysql, the client API is going to be whatever was bundled with PHP at the time. Update your MySQL version, and you're phpinfo will still show the 3.23.58 client library. The only way to change this in PHP4 is to configure and compile php with the version of MySQL _you_ have installedotherwise, it will use the bundled MySQL client. -- John C.

Why they didn't upgrade the bundle to include the 4.0 release, I don't know. However with the password 'issues' between 4.1 and earlier versions, I'm sure that's a good reason not to bundle the 4.1 client. Bundled support has been dropped in php5. -- John C.

So what exactly do I need to upgrade? I have already been corrected on what I said. I guess you learn something new and different every day. Anyway, John Nichel did the correction. You might want to read his email. I didn't think it worked that way, but maybe I am wrongI usually am. :) Steve -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Isn't that only an issue for 4.1 clients and = 4.1 servers and not for the 'other way around'? I was actually asking because I have a 4.1 server and I couldn't use PHP to connect, because it doesn't support new passwords.

You can make your 4.1 client treat passwords as =4.0, and your 4.1 server accept older passwords. If you want the 4.1 client used in PHP, you'll have to compile it from source and use PHP5. I don't think php4 supports 4.1 (mysql vs mysqli). -- John C.

You can make your 4.1 client treat passwords as =4.0, and your 4.1 server accept older passwords. If you want the 4.1 Where in the client lib can you change that? I thought = 4.1 clients would automatically use 4.1 passwords if connecting to a 4.1 server. client used in PHP, you'll have to compile it from source and use PHP5.
