PHP4 works just fine with MySQL 4.1. You may be encountering a
"problem" with the new password scheme in MySQL 4.1 that PHP 4 does
not support. In this case, PHP4 is considered and "old" client. Read
this part of the manual to get it working:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

Should you upgrade to PHP5 is a completely different story. There are
some great things in 5.
