Yes very, probably because the warning is about the PHP MySql libraries, not about the version of MySql.
That said, thanks for the search link. There's probably something there
(but I'm still going with "It ain't broke..." 'cause I'm not personally seeing any "unpredicable behaviour")

Hi Scasey - Welcome to this discussion.

Hi Ondoho,

Manually Installed MySQL:

When I installed MySQL - I used the repository for MySQL instead of mariadb - even though mariadb is what comes by default packaged with CentOS. I just remembered that - that might explain why there is a discrepancy between the version numbers.

Search suggestion Seems to Be a Near duplicate:

The search you've given me generates almost the exact same results as the search I posted in the post before yours.

Not Interested in Changing MySQL to MariaDB:

I believe I was following instructions on digitalocean's site on the install of MySQL. I don't wish to rock the boat now, by installing MariaDB instead.

Possible Solution:

One possible solution I vetted from my co-worker is that I could try software collections by remi, which would offer the opportunity to test different combinations of software on the same server.

I'm reading through that right now.

I'm back -- 'Twere I who posted in #7 "If it ain't broke don't fix it" -- but I am curious about how to resolve that warning in PHPMyAdmin, so am following with interest.

Hi Scasey - I guess I didn't recall that you were here earlier....

Not Using Software Collections:

I looked at the software collections - the one that was documented was set up for a workstation and I have a single standalone server (not very powerful) - running everything. I hesitate to set up software collections as it does allow for simultaneous running of software - which might significantly eat in to my server's limited resources.

End of the Line?:

Well, this might very well be the end of my foray into this issue... Until I have more time to invest.

As Scasey mentioned I do have another potential server that is sitting around waiting for my attention that might allow me to experiment... Don't know when I'll have time for less essential experiments - right now I'm running by the seat of my pants.

Gotta keep my fingers crossed.

Hi guys,

On Demand Sections:

The documentation for different versions of PHP installed seems to indicate that it is possible to run things "ondemand". This is something I *might* try out... Unfortunately, it is on a mission critical server - so, I hesitate.

Opinions?

If you've browsed through the link I provided for getting multiple instances of PHP running... what is your opinion of getting "ondemand" running for just some virtual hosts as opposed to all of them?

The link is the one I sent by "Remi" earlier.

No worries.

I did some searching about the warning in PHPMyAdmin. There are several discussions about what to update/upgrade/install to resolve that, but an almost equal number of comments that the warning is bogus -- some even suggested submitting a bug report -- so I'm also going to stick with my current attitude and not fix it.
