Description:
------------
After the update from 5.2.9 to 5.3.0RC1 the command

if(!$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "root")) {
	die(mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno());
}

cause mysql timeout

if I use, instead:
if(!$db = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "root")) {
	die(mysql_error()." ".mysql_errno());
}

All works. In php 5.2.9 all worked well.

Mysql Version is 5.0.77 (installed as windows service)
PHP Version is 5.3.0RC1

Try open your hosts file in:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

and remove the IPv6 address (::1) or uncomment it, what your looking for is:
::1 127.0.0.1

Remove that and it should work

I removed the line without results. The problem persist.

Since this is Windows, did you reboot?

Yes, I rebooted my pc.

It is a IPv6 problem, the solution to remove the ::1 from your host file is the right to fix it. Not sure what did not work in your case but there is no bug in php here.
