according to http://www.php.net/manual/function.mysql-errno.php3
backend errors aren't supposed to issue warnings anymore.
but i am still getting them issued and returned to clients.

when in mysql_connect i specify wrong hostname or wrong
username i am getting mysql related warnings returned to
clients.

and also just a minute ago i saw backend errors from
your own mysql server returned to me when i was trying to
access the above url. here are some coppied from my browser
window:
