Hey ,
To make php work with mysql 4 or 5 do this.
at the command prompt mysql> means when ur at mysql command prompt.
set password for user@somedomain =OLD_PASSWORD('newpasswd).
For ex
set password for root@localhost=OLD_PASSWORD('ankush');
now mysql root has the password ankush
Set the password as per ur requirements and also the user.
Regards
Ankush
