Description:
i have read the documentation and according to it these variables should be usable. however the mysql server continues to tell me that mysql_connect() cannot be used for authentication aand i must updat my mysql client. it does this with EVERYTHING that uses it with php. including such known BB's like phpBB,invisionBoard and VB

How to repeat:
place
<?
$dbname="";
$dbhost=""; 
$dbuser=""; 
$dbpass="";
mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass,$dbname); 
?>

Your problem is a php configuration problem, not a mysql problem.
