"Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your.."

Hello,

I ran a search for this topic before posting but was unable to find a solution for this particular error. Thanks for having a look. Here's my set up:

On Windows 2008 Server with IIS I am running:
- PHP Version 5.2.11
- MySQL 5.1.40
- phpMyAdmin 3.2.3

I received this error when I installed and opened phpMyAdmin:

"Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.40"

It appears that the library in this newest version of PHP isn't compatible with the current version of MySQL. Is this correct?

I know there are a lot of threads about this issue, but I can't seem to figure out if the solution is to re-install an older version of PHP (5.1.4) and hope the library matches MySQL 5.1.4, or if I should install an older version of MySQL to match the older PHP library.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I've posted this over in the MySQL forum as well since I wasn't sure if it's a PHP issue or a MySQL issue.

Thanks very much in advance for any help.
