 * Hi,
 * I’ve developed a wordpress site on my hosting account. Now it’s finished I’m 
   transferring it to my client’s hosting account.
 * Tried using Duplicator plug in. Normally takes 10 minutes ish. But my clien’t
   hosting account can’t handle Duplicator for some reason. So I’ve had to do it
   manually.
 * Problem is, when I get to the importing the database I get this message:
 * “Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.73 differs from your MySQL server version
   5.5.33. This may cause unpredictable behavior”
 * Then it wont import the database. I get an error saying there’s an error on this
   line 73 of the mysql database:
    “INSERT INTO `wp_comments` (`comment_ID`, `comment_post_ID`,`
   comment_author`, `comment_author_email`, `comment_author_url`, `comment_author_IP`,`
   comment_date`, `comment_date_gmt`, `comment_content`, `comment_karma`, `comment_approved`,`
   comment_agent`, `comment_type`, `comment_parent`, `user_id`) VALUES”
 * I haven’t got a clue what to do and would appreciate any advice please from someone
   who’s experienced this before.
 * Thanks.

 * That first bit is the problem, “Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.73 differs
   from your MySQL server version 5.5.33. This may cause unpredictable behavior”
 * Basically, PHP only knows how to talk to MySQL 5.1.73 (the final version of a
   branch of MySQL discontinued in 2014), but the server is running MySQL 5.5.33(
   actually an older version, even though it’s a newer branch, released in 2013).
 * You will need to report this to the hosting provider to fix, thought to be honest,
   based on those versions, you might want to find a different hosting provider.
