I get '127.0.0.1'. As to your mysql problems, please try 5.3.4RC1, which you can download from http://windows.php.net/qa/ . If that solves the mysql problem, then it's likely bug #50953. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-23 04:20:30] geoffreyfishing at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ Basically PHP does not convert the DNS name 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1' like it should. Test script: --------------- <?php //THIS WON'T REPRODUCE IF YOU DON'T RUN IT ON VISTA echo gethostbyname('localhost'); //Basically applies to any other PHP function that resolves 'localhost' echo mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); ?> Expected result: ---------------- 127.0.0.1 [some link identifier] Actual result: -------------- localhost false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53382&edit=1
