I use PHP4pl1 with MySQL 3.22.32
That's OLD. 3.23.36 is current.
Does other connects run without a problem? like with other databases??
If not, try what happens if you upgrade mysql to current and recompile PHP.. please, use the right API version.. I always prefer to use the one that comes with MySQL..
There are a few problems with a few versions MySQL in the 3.22 versions.. don't know of the top of my head which version and which problem.
Another thing: try to use it with a known good script.. or try a tutorial.. depends a bit on your own expertise..
Bye,
