note 59942 added to ref.mysql

For those of you on an OS that has older mysql libs and want to properly authenticate to the modern mysql versions, without the OLD_PASSWORD hack; compile php with where you have installed the latest mysql binary package: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql if you have mysql installed on seperate server, just drop it into the target directory on what ever machine you are compiling it on. Be sure to "make clean" before building or it may look in the previous place. Use the output of mysql_get_client_info(); to test before and after. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59942 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59942&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59942&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
