Hi,
I'm new to php and I notice that the mysql API version used is 3.23.49
I have mysql 4.0.18 installed in my machine.
I wish to know if it is possible to change de mysql API to make it work with
my version of MySQL.
If yes, do I have to compile de php with the new API or just change the
libmysql.dll file???
I'm using php-4.3.8 for windows
Thanks.

Yes it is possible, and yes you will have to compile PHP or alternatively find a precompiled binary of the mysql.dll file.
You should not have any problems using the currently distributed mysql.dll when accessing v4.0.x MySQL databases via PHP.

That's very odd, 4.0.18 worked perfectly out of the box on my system when I installed 4.3.6 a few months back..
