Yes, it will not work at all. MySQL 4.1 uses a protocol that's not compatible with MySQL 3.23 and 4.0. You need to use the ext/mysqli extension for it to work, but there are two problems with this: 1) it is only available with PHP5 which is not released yet. 2) it cannot be legally used since the MySQL 4.1 client libraries have been re-licensed under the GPL (old versions of the client libraries used to be under the more friendly LGPL). The only way out of this mess would be to use the ODBC driver for MySQL, but that will likely not be at all as fast as the native driver. -- Best regards, Per Lundberg / Capio ApS Phone: +46-18-4186040 Fax: +46-18-4186049 Web: http://www.nobolt.com
