Using a MySQL 4.1 database, it's as simple as:
<?
     $conn = mysql_connect();
?>

This is will immediately fail with:
1249 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client

This is a problem with a lot of applications, I believe due to changes with mysqllib.dll.

The solution for a MySQL driver I use, was to recompile, using the new MySQL headers and new mysqllib.dll

MySQL 4.1 won't be supported in 4.3. 
PHP5 snapshots have an extension called mysqli which is 
for MySQL 4.1 functions (mysqli_*).

Works fine here [tm]

Please check your client version , with echo mysql_get_client_info().

<?
echo mysql_get_client_info();
$conn = mysql_connect("server.with.mysql4.1", "username", "password");
?>

Returns the following information:

3.23.49<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  mysql_connect() [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.mysql-con
nect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Client does not support authentication protoc
ol requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client in <b>my php filename</b> on line <b>3</b><br />

It was outlined earlier that PHP4 will *NOT* support MySQL 4.1.
 [2003-04-23 03:12 UTC] sniper@php.net 
That's what you get when using beta/alpha software. Use a stable mysql release and it will all be fine.

In MySQL 4.1 they changed the authentication protocol and password() function.

To use 3.23 client library you must copy the mysql-tables from an older version into your datadirectory. As long 4.1 is still alpha we cannot provide a bundled library.
 [2004-07-15 10:20 UTC] arjen at mysql dot com 
Simple solution: you can use the --old-passwords option in the MySQL 4.1 (or higher) server, to be able to connect from the PHP 4 mysql extension. See here for more info: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Upgrading-from-4.0.html

The mysqli extension in PHP 5 speaks the new protocol.
