Hi List,

I hope this hasn't been asked before, if so, I apologize, I haven't found
it.
I know this is a problem of mysql 4.1 <--> php 5.

the problem with the workaround of the new authorization of mysql. Usually
i get around this by using the dos box with set user password
=old_password.....

but what can I do to fix this problem here?

thx Jan

P.s. or is there a way to switch to mysqli?
