The version number reported by phpinfo is the CLIENT API version. The version from SELECT VERSION() gives you the server version. PHP4 was linked against libmysql-3.23.49 and PHP5 against libmysql-5.0.18. phpinfo() is correct.
Thanks for that info, Matir. I don't know what that means as far as actual capabilities are concerned.
I'm guessing that if used a 5.0.18 feature/function that was not in 4.0.27, it would fail.
As far as syntax and functions are concerned, the server version is important, not the client. Quite honestly, other than bugs, I've never seen the client version count for anything.
