OS: Redhat 7.1 and 7.2 


When using php 2.0 php is overiding vars.

When I do:

mysql_connect("localhost",user,pass);

PHP changes "localhost"(and all other input) in to "localhost.localdomain". 

This way nobody can connect to mysql(standard "localhost") or any other remote mysql service.

php 2.0 is of course PHP 4.2.0

This will be fixed in 4.2.1

In the meantime you can fix it for 4.2.0 by rebuilding the ./conifgure script in php4/ with autoconf 2.13 (NOT 2.52) and run configure again.

I am new to linux and not sure how to do the whole rebuild thing required here.  Is there an ETA on 4.2.1's release?
