[1.17] Does phpMyAdmin support MySQL&nbsp;4.1 and 5.0?
[1.17] Which MySQL versions does phpMyAdmin support?
</h4>
<p>
phpMyAdmin provides limited support for MySQL&nbsp;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.<br />
When compiling php, we strongly recommend that you manually link it to a
MySQL&nbsp;4.1 client library since the one that is currently bundled with
php is rather old and might cause problems.<br />
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.
<br />
phpMyAdmin provides experimental support for MySQL&nbsp;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.<br />
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.
<br />
Also, we do not yet support the imporoved MySQL extension (mysqli) that
comes with php&nbsp;5. For the moment, the old MySQL extension should also
work fine here, if compiled correctly.
<br />
MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 are not yet supported.

To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called
&quot;MySQL extension&quot;.
This extension may be part of the PHP server (compiled-in), otherwise it
needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably <i>mysql.so</i> or
<i>mysql.dll</i>. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called
