Description:
------------
It appears to be unable to change the MySQL delimiter using PHP.  This causes a problem when trying to automate schema creation, especially when trying to create stored procedures.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

This is currently unsupported, but i imagine something similar should work:

<?php
$sql = "DELIMITER //";
mysql_query($sql);
?>

Returns the error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER //' at line 1

The delimiter has to be changed when using command line interface to MySQL.
In PHP it's not required, stored procedures and functions can be created without changing it.

Appologies!  I have just discovered that it is my multiline sql parser that is executing a mysql_query every time it reaches a ;.
