Description:
------------
PHP 5.3.1 is unable to connect to MYSQL running on same Windows Vista machine when host file contains:

::1         localhost   # IP v6 local host
127.0.0.1   localhost


If "::1" line is commented out, test program works.  This issue also affects phpMyAdmin.  This problem started after upgrading to PHP 5.3.1.

Running "mysql -h localhost" from command line works without issue.

When "::1" is commented out, phpMyAdmin says:

MySQL client version: mysqlnd 5.0.5-dev - 081106 - $Revision: 289630 $

Is this client embeded in php_mysql.dll?

Here is the verion of PHP I'm using:

C:\Users\johnma>php -v
PHP 5.3.1 (cli) (built: Nov 19 2009 10:17:43)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies

Thank you,
John

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "Hello there ...\n";

$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'xxx';
$dbpass = 'xxx';
$dbname = 'xxx';

echo "Attempting to connect to host=\"{$dbhost}\"\n";
$conn = mysqli_connect( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass );

if( !$conn ) {
    printf( "Connect to mysqli failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error() );
    exit();
}

mysqli_select_db( $conn, $dbname );
$result = mysqli_query( $conn, "Select distinct date from statistics" );
if( !$result ) {
    echo mysqli_error( $conn );
    exit;
}

while( ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc( $result )) != NULL ) {
    echo "\"{$row['date']}\" );\n";
}

exit();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
C:\Users\johnma>php -f test.php
Hello there ...
Attempting to connect to host="localhost"
"2009-04-01" );
"2009-04-02" );
"2009-04-03" );
"2009-04-04" );
"2009-04-05" );


Actual result:
--------------
C:\Users\johnma>php -f test.php
Hello there ...
Attempting to connect to host="localhost"
PHP Warning:  mysqli_connect(): [2002] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not  (trying to connect via tcp://localhost:3306) in C:\Users\johnma\test.php on line 10

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

We can't really fix this issue without causing trouble in the future (MySQL 5.5 supports IPv6 so changing to use IPv4 only from PHP means that you're using IPv4 from PHP and IPv6 from the command line which gives a mess in regards to user rights)

Please use 127.0.0.1 as hostname, or configure your system not to use IPv6.

Thank you for your quick response on this.

What is the bug-id of the problem that this is a duplicate of?

Thank you,

Thanks, I see now, actually the original bug id is 45150, which goes on 
to explain that the issue involves PHP streams which doesn't recognize 
PHP streams.

Thanks again for the quick response.

Sorry, I meant to say PHP streams doesn't recognize IPv6 which is 
returned if localhost is resolved on Windows Vista if the host table 
contains the IPv6 entry ::1.
