One small note, if this is of any help. First, I am new to PHP, and ran
into this same issue with PHPMyAdmin and Drupal. I am on Windows 7 x64,
and found some info on another site. However, In my case, I was having
an issue with Drupal trying to check http://family-hp/ (my computer
name). At the time, my hosts file (c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts)
contained:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
When I ran the script, I received:
called connect('family-hp')
faultcode=10060, faultstring=A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond.
called connect('localhost')
faultcode=10060, faultstring=A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond.
called connect('127.0.0.1')
Connected to 127.0.0.1 OK
called connect('www.tonymarston.net')
Connected to www.tonymarston.net OK
(note: I added a piece of code to indicate how 'connect' was called.)
I made the following changes to hosts:
1. Added a line for family-hp (not sure why I need this, since IE has no
problem resolving my computer name!).
2. Based on information I found on another site, I commented out the
IPv6 loopback.
New hosts file:
127.0.0.1 family-hp
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
Rerun of script:
called connect('family-hp')
Connected to family-hp OK
called connect('localhost')
Connected to localhost OK
called connect('127.0.0.1')
Connected to 127.0.0.1 OK
called connect('www.tonymarston.net')
Connected to www.tonymarston.net OK
So, if you give hosts a single choice of IPv4 loopback, and no IPv6
loopback, it works!

I can confirm this on Vista x86 with the precompiled 5.3.2 VC6 ts

We recently upgraded to PHP 5.3.2 and can replicate this problem under
Windows 7 x64.
Luckily the workaround of using '127.0.0.1' in the fsockopen address
instead of 'localhost' is relatively easy but it broke a large volume of
our existing code. Very annoying.
Please fix this asap.
