RE: [PHP-DB] PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin versions...
huh? you can and should be able to upgrade to 4.0.x without too many problems. PHP 4.3.9 has no problems with that, nor will PHPMyAdmin. Moving to mySQL 4.1 will involve more pain as the protocols are vastly different and uses a different php library (mysqli). For upgrade info see here (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Upgrade.html) What you might want to do, is back up your v3 db. then install 4.0.x (they can co-exist on the same machine). Configure PHP and PHPMyAdmin to handle the new server as well, then migrate the data to the new server (in the case of MyISAM tables, just copy the folders from the v3 db to the data folder in the v4 db) hth bastien From: Mark Benson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin versions... Date: Fri, 17 Dec 2004 15:58:08 + I am running MySQL 3.23.49 under Windows NT (XP Home). I also run PHP 4.3.9 on the same server, and use phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl2 for admin to my databases. I cannot upgrade to MySQL 4.x becuase apparently the MySQL API included with my PHP distro is not up to date enough to work with the revised security system in MySQL 4. I can't find a newer or better binary distro of PHP4 with a more suitable API, nor do i have the time, facilities or knowledge to bake my own from the source. Any suggestions, as I really need some of the facilities in MySQL 4.1.x? P.S. for Matrin Nowland - thanks for the help on the 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' thing, I didn't realise it was a new thing in MySQL 4.1.0! goes away to kick himself ;-) -- Mark Benson http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

-Original Message- From: Bastien Koert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] huh? you can and should be able to upgrade to 4.0.x without too many problems. PHP 4.3.9 has no problems with that, nor will PHPMyAdmin. Moving to mySQL 4.1 will involve more pain as the protocols are vastly different and uses a different php library (mysqli). Which will, however, be almost completely pointless as the functionality he wants is only in 4.1. Also, it's not painful moving to mysql 4.1 at all - you can still use the mysql_* functions just fine. Mysqli_* functions are an option, not a requirement. Still, surely it can't be that hard to find mysql 4.1 for NT... http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html#Windows Definitely read up on those upgrade/release notes! Windows binaries for php 4.10 / php 5 - these should be new enough to work with however the libraries bit works, so you'd just need to find the php mysql[i] windows library, driver, etc. whatever they call it. http://www.php.net/downloads.php Installing phpmyadmin is nothing, you just drop it in place essentially - works fine with php5 and mysql4.1 here.
