I have installed different versions of PHP and MySQL on wampserver for testing purposes.

  • 0

I have installed different versions of PHP and MySQL on wampserver for testing purposes. However, phpMyAdmin gives a warning that:
“Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.36. This may cause unpredictable behavior.”

Is this going to cause problems?? If yes, what should be done?

I am not able to set up a password for my root account. Normally, on changing the root account password, phpMyAdmin gives an error. Thereafter, setting the password in the config.inc.php file does the job. But, the problem with me is that I am not at all getting that error screen. Even when I change the password, it still gives the same warning that no password is set up for the root account.

    No, it should not cause a problem. I have very little respect for phpMyAdmin as a system. I have never experienced a problem using different client/server versions with MySQL, and we have used them on a large scale in production.

    I don’t believe a word of it. If phpmyadmin says it, does not necessarily mean it’s true.

    MySQL client/server versions are very largely compatible, unless you’re looking at very elderly versions of either of them (i.e. < 5.0)
