Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/pdo.construct
---

When connecting to PDO using the DSN, it is painfully slow on local if you're using "localhost". This can be fixed by using 127.0.0.1 at the moment.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

try {
    $pdo = new PDO(mysql:dbname=foo;host=localhost;port=3306", $config["SQL"]["USER"], $config["SQL"]["PASSWORD"]);
} catch(PDOException $exception) {
    die("Couldn't access SQL engine. (" . $exception->getMessage() . ")");
}

?>

Tested with MySQL.

The slowness is very likely to be how networks work on Windows:

If that issue is affecting you then, either changing MySQL to listen to IPv6 loopback address of ::1 would fix this, as would changing your network to only use an IPv4 address.

I pretty strongly recommend just using the actual IP address though, and just avoiding the magic localhost name.

Thanks for the answer ! Indeed works with regular IPv4 address. Also didn't know it was trying to solve it into an IPv6 first.

As mentioned, this is not a php bug.
