Description:
------------
Just like http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43812

OS: Centos 5.2
php: 5.2.8
msqli api: 5.1.30 

mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.30, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline
5.1


Contents of my.cnf

[client]
user = web35-poker
host = localhost
password = password

[mysql]
database = web35-poker

Reproduce code:
---------------
$db = mysqli_init();
$db->options(MYSQLI_READ_DEFAULT_FILE,'/path/to/file.cnf');
$db->real_connect();

if ( mysqli_connect_errno() ) {
        printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
        exit();
}


Expected result:
----------------
I expect $db to be a database handle

Actual result:
--------------
The following error message:
Connect failed: Access denied for user 'web35-poker'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

"On Unix platforms, MySQL ignores configuration files that are
world-writable. This is intentional as a security measure."

So check the permissions first.

Good point. I should have detailed this in my message.
The file is 600, readable to just the script owner (it is running through suexec). The username part is read in and understood, however the password part appears to be ignored.
