http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/encryption-functions.html#function_password – the documentation says that 

mysql> SELECT PASSWORD('badpwd');
    -> '*AAB3E285149C0135D51A520E1940DD3263DC008C'

But I get:

 > SELECT PASSWORD('badpwd')
-> 7f84554057dd964b

MySQL version: 5.1.56-log through PHP extension MySQLi, Linux

Is it a mistake in docs?

Thanks!

    It’s not a mistake in the documents. I just verified on my MySQL 5.1.x instance:

    SELECT PASSWORD('badpwd');

PASSWORD('badpwd')-> *AAB3E285149C0135D51A520E1940DD3263DC008C

    Would it be possible to see your full PHP example, to potentially better pinpoint the issue?
