12.04 - PhpMyAdmin shows warning: PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server version 5.5.24

Installed Mysql on Ubuntu 12.04 Server via

apt-get install mysql-server

from default sources.list. Than uploaded new Phpmyadmin version shows warning:

Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.51a differs from your MySQL server
version 5.5.24. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

How I can install new Mysql 5.5 version? Could you please advice?

Cheers

The thing is, the PHP team need to launch an update to the libmysql file, this way, you can use a newer version of the Database.

If you want to update the PHP installation, just update the file libmysql to the version you want (if there is any available yet).

Try executing these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install php5-mysql
apt-get install php5-mysqli

Here is the official installation guide.
