PHP, MySQL API

I recently upgraded from MySQL 3.23.58 to 4.0.18

The MySQL upgrade went fine, but I have a question about what API my PHP install is using.

using phpinfo it does show:
Client API version 3.23.58
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external

My question is this. Since I am using an external module, is php actually using the 4.0.18 API and just showing the 3.23.28 since that is what was installed during the compile?

If not, and I am still using the 3x API is that a bad thing that needs to be corrected?

Would simply recompiling php update the API?
