Test script: --------------- // timeout $host = "localhost"; $user = "root"; $password = "******"; $database = "******"; $mysql_link = mysql_connect( $host, $user, $password ); // timeout fixed $host = "127.0.0.1"; $user = "root"; $password = "******"; $database = "******"; $mysql_link = mysql_connect( $host, $user, $password ); Expected result: ---------------- Normal connection with mysql without timeout.
