Named pipe allows MySQL Server in Windows to operate without TCP/IP and the MySQL Client Library has been supporting it. mysqlnd should have been able to connect MySQL Server via named pipe since its intrduction. The patch just added the missing feature back. Since there is no timeframe for the next minor PHP version, it is quite unfair to ask those relying on named pipe to wait for that. Please add support to named pipe in 5.3.x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
