Description:
Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.45 differs from your MySQL server version 3.23.32. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

How to repeat:
how the bug can be repeated?

just install MySQL 5.0.45 and phpMyAdmin 5.0.45, and logon the phpMyAdmin admin interface, the bug will reemerge itself.

Suggested fix:
no suggestion yet. :(

Maybe they just happen to be of the same version but have nothing to do with each other at all.

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to connect to your server with mysql command line client and send the results of:

select version();

I have the same problem... (but everything works fine)

The version shown on the main page is wrong. I installed mysql 5.0.33 and 5.0.51a and it says both times "Server Version: 3.23.32" in phpmyadmin.

important to know: i am logged in as root from another computer than the localhost! This is important to know, because when i login in phpmyadmin on the localhost, the shown version is right!

This bug happened only if you are using phpmyadmin and connected to a different computer with mysql version (5.0.33/51a)

(the phpmyadmin version was on both computers in both tests the same with MySQL-Client-Version: 5.0.51)

(source: xampp installation 1.6.0a and 1.6.6a)
