Bug also reported (by someone else) at the MySQL bug database: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=24212 Seems likely to be a security issue in vista but I thought I should flag it up since it could become a problem once more people start to switch. Reproduce code: --------------- if ($sdbc = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)) { echo "database selected"; } else { echo"Could not connect to MySQL!<br />MySQL Error: " . mysql_error(); } Expected result: ---------------- database selected Actual result: -------------- Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on '****' (10060) in **** on line 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39549&edit=1
