3. Question:

I receive the following error message:

Answer:

MySQL 4.1 and later is not fully compatible with older clients. The complete description of this issue can be found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

Following the instructions in this article is the only way to solve this problem if you use PHP 4 or older.

If you use PHP 5, then you can just upgrade MySQL client library used by PHP. To do that replace libmysql.dll file in your PHP installation folder and in C:\Windows\System32 folder with the same file found in your MySQL installation. Usually it resides in C:\MySQL\bin

Then find the string beginning with

And at last copy libmysql.dll from your MySQL installation into the C:\Windows\System32 directory.
