Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67563&edit=1 ID: 67563 User updated by: bugs-php dot a2 at x25 dot pl Reported by: bugs-php dot a2 at x25 dot pl Summary: mysqli compiled with mysqlnd does not take ipv6 adress as parameter Status: Open Type: Bug -Package: MySQLi related +Package: MySQL related -PHP Version: 5.5.14 +PHP Version: 7.0.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: How many more years is needed for simple patch for mysqlnd (or mysqli) to unify how ipv6 mysql adress should be passed regardless of underlying lib? (it should be without brackets so hostnames would work) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-18 14:30:11] bobe at webnaute dot net Here is some tests: PDO mysql + mysqlnd: [::1] => ok ::1 => getaddrinfo failed mysqli_connect() + mysqlnd: [::1] => ok ::1 => getaddrinfo failed mysql_connect() + mysqlnd: [::1] => Failed to parse IPv6 address "[:3306" ::1 => No such file or directory PDO mysql + libmysqlclient: [::1] => SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host '[::1]' ::1 => ok mysqli_connect() + libmysqlclient: [::1] => (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host '[::1]' ::1 => ok mysql_connect() + libmysqlclient: [::1] => Unknown MySQL server host '[' (2) ::1 => Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '1' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-18 13:48:50] bobe at webnaute dot net There is a real problem here because mysqlnd wants the IPv6 address to be enclosed in brackets (illogical since mysqli_connect() or PDO wants a host, not a url). But when using libmysqlclient, these extensions wants the IPv6 address NOT to be enclosed in brackets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-07-04 00:17:30] bugs-php dot a2 at x25 dot pl Description: ------------ mysqli compiled with mysqlnd does not take ipv6 adress as parameter <? mysqli_connect("2a01:43f8:4441:12e7::c8"); ?> # php-compiled-with-mysqlnd a.php <b>Warning</b>: mysqli_connect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in <b>/root/a.php</b> on line <b>10</b><br /> # php-compiled-with-libmysql a.php connects fine cat /etc/hosts 2a01:43f8:4441:12e7::c8 abc <? mysqli_connect("abc"); ?> php-compiled-with-mysqlnd a.php connects fine ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67563&edit=1
