Are both client and server running on WSL2?
What is your Client API library version (see phpinfo)?
Can you connect via mysqli?
What's your server version?

Thanks for the info!  With "server version" I meant the version of
MySQL (if it's even MySQL and not MariaDB or such).

Anyhow, if you can connect with phpmyadmin, the MySQL server is
probably irrelevant.  Maybe there are issues with unix sockets
under WSL2?  Can you connect via TCP/IP with mysqli?

Thanks for providing further info!

I'll leave this ticket for someone else more used to connecting to
a MySQL server via Unix sockets.

Object-oriented style

public mysqli::real_connect(
    string $host = ?,
    string $username = ?,
    string $passwd = ?,
    string $dbname = ?,
    int $port = ?,
    string $socket = ?,
    int $flags = ?
): bool
Procedural style

mysqli_real_connect(
    mysqli $link,
    string $host = ?,
    string $username = ?,
    string $passwd = ?,
    string $dbname = ?,
    int $port = ?,
    string $socket = ?,
    int $flags = ?
): bool
