Description:
------------
There is no libmysql.dll in the php-5.3.0alpha2-dev-win32.zip archive.
I tried to use one from php-5.2.6-win32.zip (the last stable release), but apparently it doesn't work.

P.S. If there is a more suitable place where I can post feedback about testing PHP 5.3 on Windows, please tell :)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

mysql_connect("localhost","root","12345") or die(mysql_error());

?>

Expected result:
----------------
No errors

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: OK packet 6 bytes shorter than expected. PID=-387523 in W:\www\test53.php on line 3

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication in W:\www\test53.php on line 3

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: in W:\www\test53.php on line 3

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

libmysql.dll isn't needed anymore with 5.3 as mysqlnd was introduced as client library.

"mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication" tells you what the error is, please don't use the --old-passwords MySQL option!

This is currently not documented in http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysql.installation.php

Specifically, it still says:

PHP 5+

(snip) Also, PHP needs access to the MySQL client library. A file named libmysql.dll is included in the Windows PHP distribution and in order for PHP to talk to MySQL this file needs to be available to the Windows systems PATH. (/snip).

The windows builds install.txt also document this, but are out dated

About the last comment, it is unrelated to this bug. Also I cannot find "libmysql" references in INSTALL (install.txt), in 5.3+.

this link states it all concisely:

http://www.artfulsoftware.com/php_mysql_win.html

It seems to be the best and only coherent answer to the problem.

Had the same problem with PHP 5.3.2

After wasting Days, ended up going with 5.2.13

Now have everything working!

There is no libmysql.dll in 5.3 as we don't use it anymore.
