php to mysql client problem.

This is my setup: Not really worried about security. W2kPro w\sp4 Mysql 5.O Mysqlcc0.9.4 Php 5.0.0.b3 [As CGI] Apache2.0.48 I can now connect to my server from anywhere using Mysqlcc or another server... home, work, etc. I can run Php scripts. I can connect to the Apache Server. Login to Mysql: Works. ==C:\>mysql -u mike -p ==Enter password: ******** ==Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. ==Your MySQL connection id is 28 to server version: 5.0.0-alpha-max-nt ==Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. PhpInfo Shows: ==MySQL Support enabled ==Active Persistent Links 0 ==Active Links 0 ==Client API version 3.23.57 ==Directive Local Value Master Value ==mysql.allow_persistent On On ==mysql.connect_timeout 60 60 ==mysql.default_host localhost localhost ==mysql.default_password no value no value ==mysql.default_port 3306 3306 ==mysql.default_socket no value no value ==mysql.default_user root root ==mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited ==mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited ==mysql.trace_mode Off Off I Try to connect from PHP and I get: ==Not connected : Client does not support authentication protocol ==requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client Could this be the Reason?: From the PHP info above. =="Client API version 3.23.57"== I'm thinking yes, but since copying the new files to the same directory overwrote all the others, is this the client version for all servers currently?? If not how do I force it to update. I have all the servers working. I don't really at this point want to delete anything. Michael G.
