PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Why not upgrade to php5? Which would solve your error as well because it uses the latest mysql client library. The end of life of php4 was one year ago this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldrown Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Because my client is using php 4.4.9. I did change to php 5 and it is working. I am leary of problems with my client's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Given the same php.ini configuration, php4 code works as is under php5, except for a few obscure cases and fixing any of these would be simple and straight forward - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/migration5.incompatible.php If you must use php4, the link that fenway posted will fix your immediate problem.

ldrown Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks guys. The mysql documentation was helpful and (I think) solved the problem. It was a problem with libmysql.dll. Again thx..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
