php using msql_connect

Does anyone know why when I run a php script to connect to mysql server
I get the error "Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client " I am using the
latest version of Mysql 5.0, also using the latest version of php 5.0.2.
The php module is being loaded through the http.conf file, I can look at
phpinfo() and see that "dir mod_php" is loaded. I have gone into the
admin program and set the option to allow the usage of Old Passwords in
the security tab. Any ideas?

Thanks
