    - [1.17] Does phpMyAdmin support MySQL 4.1 and 5.0? + [1.17] Which MySQL versions does phpMyAdmin support?

    - phpMyAdmin provides limited support for MySQL 4.1. That means that you - can neither assign character sets to a table or field on create nor change - the (automatically) assigned character set.
    - When compiling php, we strongly recommend that you manually link it to a - MySQL 4.1 client library since the one that is currently bundled with - php is rather old and might cause problems.
    - MySQL 5 is not yet supported. + All MySQL versions from 3.21 till 4.0 are fully supported. Please note + that the older your MySQL version is, the more limitations you will have to + face. +
    + phpMyAdmin provides experimental support for MySQL 4.1. That means that + although you can assign character sets to a table or field, phpMyAdmin will + not recode the data when inserting or extracting it. Instead, it will still + use the character set you specified for the MySQL connection.
    + When compiling php, we strongly recommend that you manually link the MySQL + extension to a MySQL client library of at least the same version since the + one that is bundled with php 4.x is rather old and might cause problems. +
    + Also, we do not yet support the imporoved MySQL extension (mysqli) that + comes with php 5. For the moment, the old MySQL extension should also + work fine here, if compiled correctly. +
    + MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 are not yet supported.
