Hi all.
I figured this question was suitable for both the MySQL list and the
PHP-General list. Here's what I'm running into.
I just installed MySQL5 and currently have PHP 4.3.11 installed. I
am wanting to connect to the mysql database on localhost, but I
get the following results:
----------
<? $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password'); ?>
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by
server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
----------
Well, I have the lastest stable version of MySQL, so I did some more
research on what the problem might be. When I checked my
information for PHP using phpinfo(), it gave me the "Client API
version" for MySQL was 3.23.49. So, I'm thinking my version of PHP
cannot connect to my version of MySQL. I then considered if I
installed the MySQLi extension for PHP (supports versions of MySQL
> 4.1), would that help me? Or, if I just upgraded PHP to version 5,
would that help me?
Does anyone have any suggestions on the direction I should go?
Thanks in advance,
~Philip
