Description:
------------
I have PHP 5.0.2 and MySQL 4.1.4 installed. Both mysql 
and mysqli extensions are enabled. Currently I have 5 
databases created. However, when I try to access them 
through PHP, mysql seems to think there is only 1, 
whereas mysqli finds all 5. I originally noticed this 
when I suddenly could no longer select a db I wanted 
with mysql. Upon investigating further, I came up with 
the following reproduce code that fails to find more 
than 1 db using mysql in either of 2 different methods. 
Then succeeds in finding all 5 with mysqli.

Configure option: --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-
mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

Reproduce code:
---------------
$db=mysql_connect("HOST","USER","PASSWORD");
$db_list=mysql_list_dbs($db);
$count=mysql_num_rows($db_list);
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++) echo mysql_db_name($db_list,$i)."<br>";

echo "----<br>";

$db=mysql_connect("HOST","USER","PASSWORD");
$res=mysql_query("SHOW DATABASES;");
if ($res) while ($res2=mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) echo $res2["Database"]."<br>";

echo "----<br>";

$db=new mysqli("HOST","USER","PASSWORD","ANY DB");
$res=$db->query("SHOW DATABASES;");
if ($res) while ($res2=$res->fetch_assoc()) echo $res2["Database"]."<br>";

Expected result:
----------------
db 1
db 2
db 3
...
----
db 1
db 2
db 3
...
----
db 1
db 2
db 3
...

Actual result:
--------------
db 4
----
db 4
----
db 1
db 2
db 3
...

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

I'm not clear as to why this does not imply a bug. It 
worked in 5.0.1, then I upgraded to 5.0.2 and it stopped 
working. A site I am developing ceases to work because 
of this issue, since I cannot access the database I was 
using. I hadn't changed any of the code that worked 
under 5.0.1 and nothing changed with my mysql install. I 
don't see it as a bug with mysql because when I connect 
to the mysql server via command line, it lists all the 
databases just fine. I hope this is resolved somehow all 
the same...
