I can't reproduce the gethostbyname problem in Vista. 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.

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
