Apparently it was written for MySQL 4 but I have MySQL5 running.  I found a fix on google groups but I don't know how to implement it.  It involves changing all occurences of OUT to `OUT` in all of the php scripts since OUT is now a reserved word in mysql5. How do I do that?

I don't know MySQL... but perhaps something like:

grep OUT *.php   # check that it's getting MOSTLY the right stuff

foreach f ( *.php )
  echo =========== $f
  sed s/OUT/\'OUT\'/g $f > t
  mv t $f
end

grep OUT *.php    # fix the wrong OUT replacements...


DO NOT run this as written.   I'm not sure how sed deals with the
quotes.  Try it on a test copy of a file first!
