hello all, i've just recently reinstalled windows, and i'm having a very
bad problem with apache (win32) + mysql + php.

For starters i installed everything like normal.

Apache v. 2.0.50
PHP v. 4.3.8
Mysql 4.1.4Gamma

I then installed phpmyadmin, i noticed it was having a problem
connecting to the database, citing an incompatible/outdated client. I
looked up some infos in the documentation and it told me to check the
version of the php api by calling phpinfo();

Client API version 3.23.49

Why is it only 3.x? Shouldn't it be 4.xx.xx? Is this the reason
phpmyadmin won't work? How do i fix this?

please help me, i'm pulling my hair out!

btw i've deleted all occurances of libmysql.dll and still have the same
issue.
