You should use the newest stable version so you can take advantage
of the latest features and fixes, but unless you're going back really
far - like MySQL 3.23 - any modern client version should have no
negative impact. Even in that case it may not, but that's a better
question for either the php-db@ list or the MySQL General list (both
CC'd for folks to add anything I may have forgotten).
