 * Hi,
 * I have been developing a website on my local computer. The other day I realised
   that I was using php4 instead of 5 (I am able to switch between the two). When
   in php4 (and MySQL 5.0.67) I was able to view and edit my website reasonably 
   well, there were a few features that were not working, which made me think of
   using php5.
 * Since upgrading to php5, I cant connect to my website. The database hasn’t changed
   at all. only the php. I then created a new user and set the privilages so the
   password is OLD_PASSWORD, but with no luck.
 * Any ideas? or other solutions?
 * Thanks

 * Never mind, I found out that I had the ini_set() in the wrong constructor class,
   it remained in the php4 function wpdb() instead of the php5 function __construct()
 * Thanks anyway
