[csw-users] php and mysql problem

[tmarx at uni-wuppertal.de]

hi!

i´m relativly new to solaris and blastwave.
i´ve set up a server with solaris 9 and blastwave´s apache1, php and mysql4.1
for the mediawiki software.
my problem is that the php mysql module does not support the new authentication
method of mysql 4.1 (longer hashes for passwords). one can ship around this by
manually giving each user an old password with mysqladmin (oldpassword option)
or by starting the mysql daemon with --old-passwords. though this works, it´s
far from beeing convinient.
are there any plans to include a newer version of the php mysql lib anytime
soon?

thanks,
Tobias
