On Linux it works ok to use PhP 4.x (or PhP 5.x) with MySQL 5.0, on Windows I just could not get the two to talk to each other. I think it works ok with 4.1.1 though. MySQL 5.0 is a Zip package, not a nice Install Shield though so you should be comfortable installing that way before attempting to upgrade. If you are so gung-ho to upgrade MySQL to an alpha product, maybe you should also considering upgrading php to at least 4.3.6 or even 5.0rc2 as there have been many security fixes since 4.2. The best advice I have for you is to get a test box, install what you want and hammer it for a while and see if it works ok. The MySQL/PhP developers I'm sure will at least appreciate the testing. > Other than whats in the docs, are there other issues to think about > when upgrading from 3.23?

Definately the GRANT tables, also if you use the PASSWORD function there have been some changes that might make it incompatible with previous versions. Other than that I think I was fine. You need to run a few scripts I think to setup the stored procedure tables and some help tables.
