Description:
------------
I can't connect to "localhost", only to "127.0.0.1". My MySQL server works fine 
and I can connect to it otherwise. PHP 5.3.0 and 5.2.11 work.

Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4015253/php-5-3-3-mysql-connect-
doesnt-work-with-localhost for more details.

Test script:
---------------
mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '');

new PDO('mysql:dbname=db_name;host=localhost', 'root', '');

die('' . rand(0, 9999));

Expected result:
----------------
0-9999

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: [2002] A connection attempt 
failed because the connected party did not (trying to connect via 
tcp://localhost:3306) in

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: A connection attempt failed 
because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or 
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in 

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in

Dupe of many, many bugs, most recently bug #52516.

Further reading: http://bit.ly/aGVpX8 (which expands to http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2010/06/11/php-5-3-and-mysql-connectivity-
problem.aspx, which will undoubtedly get mangled by the bug tracker's line 
wrapping).

The IIS post is not totally correct.

Also the IPv6 vs IPv4 issue has been fixed and will be present in 5.3.4+

What I don't understand is why this works in PHP 5.3.0 with the same MySQL server. If the problem lies with MySQL, shouldn't it be consistent on all versions of PHP?
