Hi, the problem is most probably that you are using old version of php with a newer version fo mysql
it might have accured while trying to connect to mysql 4.1 or 5.0 with an old version of php.

Solution: upgrade your php to one of the latest branches: 5.0.5 or 5.1.1 (note there are some huge differences and BC might be broken somewhere)

Another scenario is that you are trying to connect to mysql 5.0 with php_mysql extension
The problem is that you will need php_mysqli extension to connenct to mysql 5.0

php_mysqli is an exstended mysql module. it is a vailable for php5.0 and newer
note that you will need to configure the use of mysqli in phpmyadmin config.inc.php file

You will also have to enable it on your server.
Good luck!
