I've been studying the MySQL documentation and found the following:
------------------
4.16.1 Upgrading from a 3.22  version to a 3.23

<...removed for brevity>

The following lists what you have to watch out for when upgrading to 3.23

<...removed for brevity>

o mysql_num_fields() can no longer be used on a MYSQL* object (it's now a function that takes MYSQL_RES* as an argument. You should now use mysql_field_count() instead.
------------------

It's in the on-line MySQL documentation...

My host shows that we are using PHP 3.06, which isn't in your list, so I selected the 3.0.14 version. They will be upgrading to MySQL 3.23 shortly, so this concerns me that a number of my scripts will break; at least the ones that rely on mysql_num_fields.

They can upgrade MySQL without recompiling PHP and it should still work.  A 3.22 MySQL client can still talk to a 3.23 MySQL server.
