What is a working configuration for Windows using Apache and PHPv4.

I have PHP 4.4.4, MySQL 5.0.27 and Apache 2.2.3 on Windows XP. I need someone to confirm that this mix of applications will work.

AFAIK, no PHP apps can connect to MySQL when PHPv4 is used. PHPv5 works fine. The applications I'm testing: phpBB, PHPlist and phpAdsNew. I believe the issue is the MySQL client API version.

Client API version: 3.23.49 (pulled from phpinfo()).

I've read on various forums, that the client hasn't been updated in PHP4 Win32, the solution being to upgrade to PHP5. PHP5 has an v5 client. I don't believe this is an issue on non Win32 systems.

How are people using this on Windows?

Finally, I managed to work this out on my own. I would be preffered to upgrade the client API but was able to downgrade the password hash that MySQL >4.1 uses.
