There's even a section in the MySQL manual, which is the first hit on Google
for the error message you posted, for what to do:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

It offers several possibilities, the most advisable of which is to upgrade the
MySQL client that your system is using.

Note that older versions of PHP came bundled with a MySQL 3.2.x client
library, although that (probably) doesn't mean you're forced to use that
specific version.
