I need to be able to specify a non-default socket for localhost mysql connections. I'd like to be able to specify in php.ini 

mysql.default_socket = /tmp/myspecial.sock

just like I can specify non-default port numbers with:

mysql.default_port = 63306	

This would help me, but it would also improve consistency. There's no code to handle this in php_mysql.c, though of course there is for the other default variables:

cd /opt/myphpproject/cvs/php4/ext/mysql/
grep -n mysql.default_ * /dev/null
php_mysql.c:284:	STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("mysql.default_host",		NULL,	PHP_INI_ALL,			OnUpdateString,		default_host,		php_mysql_globals,		mysql_globals)
php_mysql.c:285:	STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("mysql.default_user",		NULL,	PHP_INI_ALL,			OnUpdateString,		default_user,		php_mysql_globals,		mysql_globals)
php_mysql.c:286:	STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("mysql.default_password",	NULL,	PHP_INI_ALL,			OnUpdateString,		default_password,	php_mysql_globals,		mysql_globals)
php_mysql.c:287:	PHP_INI_ENTRY("mysql.default_port",		NULL,	PHP_INI_ALL,			OnMySQLPort)

Thanks.
