Hi!
When using 'localhost' in mysql_connect(), php tries to use a socket
to connect to the mysql daemon. Is there a way to force php to resolve
the hostname of localhost, maybe by patching some source file? The
reason is that a socket is not avaible because mysql and apache are
running in different chroot jails on my server.

Actually that's libmysql doing that, not PHP. The way around that
"shortcut" is to connect to 127.0.0.1 (by ip) rather than localhost (by
name) which of course you can handle in your script code without having to
patch PHP or libmysql directly.
