Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. You should be using mysqli in 5.0 for MySQL 4.1+ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-09 19:59:18] sitbon at pdx dot edu Description: ------------ When PHP attempts to connect to MySQL, the password hash is calculated based on MySQL v3.x, but the newer versions (4.1.x) use a stronger password hash, and so the connection is refused on grounds of a bad password, regardless of correctness. Blank passwords still work, and running MySQL with --old-passwords works, but when changing the password with a MySQL 4.1.x client, the hash is again incompatible with PHP. The --old-passwords flag only affects the PASSWORD() command, and apparently the MySQL client does not use it to set the hash. Reproduce code: --------------- n/a Expected result: ---------------- n/a Actual result: -------------- n/a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25462&edit=1
