Subject: mysql_connect using version 5.0.1 accesses the internet when host and client are the same system
From: SoCalSam@GMail.com ("Sam Hobbs")

I am using PHP Version 5.0.1, MySQL 5.0.1-alpha-nt, and Apache/2.0.48 with 
Windows XP with SP2. When I use mysql_connect in a php page in Apache to 
connect to the "localhost" I get:

   Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect.chm]: Can't connect to 
MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I get that when the firewall does not allow Apache and MySQL to access the 
internet. When I do allow Apache to access the internet, mysql_connect with 
the same parameters works. Is that waht is supposed to happen?

I assume this is a PHP problem but I can't be sure it is, so I apologize if 
it is not.

I realize that I have not provided much information. If access to the 
internet is normal when the server and client are in the same system, then I 
won't spend much more time on this. If however it sounds like a bug, then I 
will gather as much information that I can and submit a bug report.
