PHP Version 4.2.2
mysql - Client API version 3.23.51
Is there any secure way to connect using these versions? I am on a virtual host so there's not much I can do about upgrading. Also, does it matter which versions the server I am connecting to are running?

The client_flags argument is the one you want, so you will need PHP 4.3
for it and MySQL 4.0.x.
