sorry, i googled again, read nearly every post wich containes mysql and
upgrade but i can't find a useful answer in this list. perhaps its me...

so my question is still the same, would i have to recompile php or not

@NG
what means need?
nobody needs an internet,using mysql4 would just makes things easier
(like using nested SELECTS)

.... shure there is a lot of spam at the list, i did not asked for
"reasons for an upgrade" because i already knew about that, so the next
one who is googling for the problem, gets annoyed of the unuseful answer
