+@strong{Note for PHP users}: The @code{mysql} extension does not support the new
+authentication protocol in MySQL 4.1.1 and higher. This is true regardless of
+the PHP version being used. If you wish to use the @code{mysql} extension with
+MySQL 4.1 or newer, you will need to follow one of the options discussed above
+for configuring MySQL to work with old clients. The @code{mysqli} extension
+(stands for "MySQL, Improved"; new in PHP 5) @strong{is} compatible with the
+improved password hashing employed in MySQL 4.1 and higher, and no special
+configuration of MySQL need be done in order to use this newer MySQL client
+library for PHP. For more information about the @code{mysqli} extension, see
+@uref{http://php.net/mysqli}.

 For additional background on password hashing and authentication, see
 @ref{Password hashing}.
