Force PHP5 to use old hashing

I am attempting to connect to my site's mySQL server via my own computer with apache and PHP installed. Initially I had PHP5 installed, and I got the error "mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication." I understand the problem is that my site uses old password hashing. However, I purchased this space, and there is no way for me to change that.
I can login to mySQL just fine with PHP4, but unfortunately I need some of PHP5's features to run an IRC bot. Is there anyway to connect to mySQL using PHP5 but force it to use the old mySQL password hashing like PHP4 used?
