I just started running MySQL 3.23.37 with php-4.0.5. Anyway, I am randomly
getting this same problem. Probably 90% of the time I don't encounter a
problem, but the other 10% I get the Commands out of sync error. I never
got it before upgrading MySQL.
Any suggestions out there? Maybe in the meantime I should revert to an older
version of MySQL. Perhaps I should use mysql_free_result() in between any
calls, but that seems to be excessive. I'll give it a try in the meantime,
but would love to hear any advice or comments.
Thanks
