Description:
------------
According to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50172 there is a know issue 
when using php + mysql in Windows 7.

This is reported as not a bug in PHP but anyway this is a common 
showstopper so a big red bold alert should be present in the 
installation documentation of PHP regarding this and how to fix it

Johannes: bug#50172 being bogus makes no sense to me.
Please fix do something with the docs if that report is indeed bogus.

I can confirm that this bug/feature exists on windows 7 pro.
It can be fixed by uncommenting the localhost 127.0.0.1-line in the hosts-file.

This should be mentioned in the documentation.

http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2010/06/11/php-5-3-and-mysql-connectivity-problem.aspx has a nice summary of the issue, maybe we can add some of it to the docs ...
