[ciapug] PHP 4 to 5

[Jerry Heiselman]

One of the problems you may experience is actually with the move to
mysql 5.  They changed the hashing algorithm for the password()
function and that broke a lot custom-made applications that used this
function even though the MySQL documentation advises against this.  If
you run into this problem, then you can either modify your code to
call old_password() or modify your my.cnf file with a command that
overrides the default password function (I believe that it's something
like password=old_password.)
