I interpret that to mean that the MySQL extension doesn't support any features of MySQL added to versions greater than 4.1.0 and if I don't need the additional features then I can use the MySQL extension. > So, my initial question to myself is "Why is Sam trying to use the > mysql extension to talk to MySQL 5.0.1, and has he tried mysqli?" I see nothing telling me not to use the mysql extension. I also do not see a line in my php.ini file that says "extension=php_mysqli.dll" (either commented or not commented); I did thave a line that said ";extension=php_mysql.dll" that I uncommented of course. > I cannot say.

I did not know and now that you have said that, I now know. I was trying to help and as best as I knew it seemed to be a php problem. I will assume you people do know enough to make the determination and therefore I will assume it is accurate. It sure is less work for me to not pursue it further.
