Description:
------------
My ISP has implemented both MySQL4 and MySQL5.  Because of this, I have to connect to the MySQL5 database using a socket port on the connect:  localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock

However, PDO fails to connect when I use this.

I have tried both:

$dbH = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock;dbname='.DBASE, DBUSER, DBPWORD );

$dbH = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;port=/tmp/mysql5.sock;dbname='.DBASE, DBUSER, DBPWORD );

The first returns this error:
Exception message: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock'

The second returns this error:
SQLSTATE[00000] [1044] Access denied for user: '*****@localhost' to database '*****'
which means it is pointing to the old MySQL4 db and is not using the port.

I use many other connection methods that work fine with host="localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock"

Any help would be appreciated.
