Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.91 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.50. This may cause unpredictable behavior | phpMyAdmin
Right after a fresh installation of phpMyAdmin, you open the main page with your favorite browser (ie explorer no doubt) and view the contents. Our beloved third party displays just fine, but at the bottom there lies the following warning:
Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.91 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.50. This may cause unpredictable behavior.
Nobody likes unpredictable behaviors. Check again... Nope, PHP and MySQL newer versions installed. Where does the warning come from? How to deal with this?
The following quote comes to answer the question marks over our heads:
MySQL Library Differs
When using some tools (most notably PHPMyAdmin) you may get a
notice like this
Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.90 differs from your MySQL
server version 5.1.50.
This may cause unpredictable behavior.
This message can be safely ignored. The reason that the library cannot
be upgraded with the server is that, in Enterprise Linux, everything
is compiled around the old library.
Upgrading the library would break a number of programs compiled
against it so, for compatibility's sake, it must remain
as the one provided by the vendor directly.
If you REALLY need the latest libraries you can recompile
php from the SRPMS.
