I probably ought to get on them about upgrading that...

Apparently, you can just ask and they'll move you to a server with MySQL 5. Weird that they're running completely different MySQL versions on different servers big_smile

Wow - thanks for checking that for me!

In other words, if you intend to upgrade to PunBB 1.3, make sure your hosting company is running 4.1 or later. If they don't offer this support, switch to a different provider big_smile

It's still only one thread on the English speaking support forum, so it's not the general Pun's admin population. But, still... PHP4 is out, and MySQL 3/4.0 seems to be out too.

5.0: 58.5%
4.1: 34.1%
4.0: 4.9%

Now, some of you have responded "x.x on all servers" or something along those lines which probably means the percentages for 5.0 and 4.1 should be a bit higher. Also, out of the two who have responded that your host uses 4.0, we know that at least one of them offers 5.0 if you ask for it.

Only if you build the mysql extension against the old 4.0 client libraries. I think most hosts build both the mysql and mysqli extensions against the latest client libraries which shouldn't lead to any problems.

Yeah, but that's only if you need to use any of the added features. The mysql extension works with later version of MySQL as well.

A lot are. Especially since MySQL changed its password() field handling (at 4.1, I think) and it was a support nightmare from what I hear.

That was only a problem if you had a different version of the client libraries. This isn't an issue for a hosting company because when they update MySQL, they just recompile PHP at the same time.
