Typically, the answer is yes -- you have to compile PHP with the version of mysql you are using. (When I say version of mysql, I mean 3.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x, 5.0.x). In rare cases where the client API did not change, you can get away without recompiling. Since you're downgrading from mysql 5.0 to 4.1, however, you may be okay. My understanding is that 5.0 is a superset of 4.1 when it comes to the API; as long as you don't try to use mysql 5.0 features, it may work. Best way to know is probably to try it out. Are you having issues? If not, don't recompile. However, if you start having issues at all with mysql from PHP, recompile. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | mailto:matthew@xxxxxxxxxx Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association | http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
